New directions in growth hormone treatment in children.
Review in Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper reviews clinical-trial evidence on the use of long-acting growth hormone (LAGH) preparations in children. Three LAGH products have been approved in Europe and the United States for paediatric growth hormone deficiency (GHD): lonapegsomatropin, somapacitan, and somatrogon. Ongoing clinical programmes are evaluating these agents in other causes of short stature that may warrant growth hormone therapy, including Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome, children born small for gestational age (SGA)/with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), idiopathic short stature (ISS), SHOX gene variants, and achondroplasia; the present article summarises the design assumptions of these trials. In addition, the paper discusses the potential role of LAGH in patients with persistent GHD after completion of linear growth, i.e. those transitioning into adulthood and requiring ongoing replacement therapy. Finally, preliminary data are presented on the use of an oral growth hormone secretagogue, ibutamoren, in children with partial GH deficiency.
