1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of predicting final adult height (FAH) in Korean girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) using artificial intelligence (AI)-derived bone age assessments integrated into the Bayley-Pinneau (BP) or Korean National Growth Chart (KGC) prediction models. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis single-center, retrospective study included 122 Korean girls with CPP who received gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment for at least two years between January 2000 and November 2022. We assessed bone age and predicted adult height at the initiation and completion of GnRHa treatment. We used three bone age assessment methods: human expert assessment based on the Greulich-Pyle (GP) atlas (Human-GP), AI-derived GP (AI-GP), and AI-weighted GP scoring (AI-GPw). We calculated predicted adult heights (PAHs) using both the BP and KGC models, generating 12 PAH estimates per patient (2 time points × 3 bone-age methods × 2 height-prediction models). We assessed prediction accuracy and agreement with FAH using linear regression analysis and Bland-Altman plots and performed multivariable analysis to identify significant predictors of FAH.

resultsHuman-GP, AI-GP, and AI-GPw demonstrated comparable overall performance in predicting FAH (R²: 0.470-0.646 and 0.691-0.822 for treatment initiation and completion, respectively). AI-GPw combined with BP yielded slightly better point estimates but showed no statistically significant differences. At both time points, the BP model demonstrated consistently narrower 95% limits of agreement (LoA) than the KGC model. Multivariable analysis identified AI-GPw-BP and height percentile score as significant predictors of FAH at both time points; mid-parental height was significant only at treatment initiation.

conclusionHuman-GP, AI-GP, and AI-GPw demonstrated comparable accuracy in predicting FAH. The BP model demonstrated consistently narrower 95% LoA than did the KGC model. AI-GPw-BP was an independent predictor of FAH. These findings support the clinical utility of AI-derived bone age assessments for individualized FAH prediction in patients with CPP.
