A review on levothyroxine therapy and bone age in children with long-standing untreated acquired hypothyroidism.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Children with long-standing untreated hypothyroidism often experience delayed bone maturation and impaired linear growth, which can persist even after the initiation of therapy. Therefore, it is of interest to review the effects of levothyroxine therapy on bone age (BA) advancement and growth outcomes in children with hypothyroidism. Known data shows that levothyroxine therapy accelerates bone age progression and improves growth velocity and height outcomes. Early and adequate treatment yields the greatest benefits; however, delayed or prolonged untreated disease limits full height recovery. Thus, timely levothyroxine replacement is essential to minimize growth impairment and preserve adult height potential in pediatric hypothyroidism.
