Adipose tissue distribution and metabolic profile of young individuals with turner syndrome.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2026. 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
Objective: Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in females. Incidence of cardiometabolic complications is high in TS. Obesity and high visceral adiposity (VA) are additional risk factors. Body mass index (BMI) is not the best index of adiposity in TS due to short stature. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan and bioelectrical impedance (BI) could be alternatives. The primary objective is to evaluate alternative methods for body composition assessment in youth with TS. The secondary goal is to characterize body composition and metabolic profiles of youth with TS compared with youth without TS. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Participants with TS are on ≥50 mcg transdermal estradiol equivalent replacement or spontaneously menstruating. The control group consisted of youth with normal/lean BMI and obese BMI. Results: Twenty-seven TS, 15 obese, and 15 lean youth were recruited (13-19 years; female). In the TS group, correlation is noted between DXA and BI for fat mass (FM), lean mass (LM), and VA. VA (356.56 +/-225.82 g) and FM (27.06 +/-11.39 g) from DXA were higher for the TS group compared to the lean group's VA (162.66 +/-68.58 g) and FM (19.44 +/-19.47 g), even with comparable LM and total weight. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 38% in the TS group. The lean group had no dyslipidemia. Conclusion: Differences in LM, FM, and VA would not have been identified by BMI alone. BI may be a convenient and noninvasive outpatient tool in TS to assess body composition and identify risk factors for metabolic dysfunction, such as low LM and high FM.
