Estimating the Stature of an Ancient North Andean Population From Articular Breadths and Diaphyseal Diameters: An Extension of Anzellini and Toyne (2020).
Article in American journal of biological anthropology, 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
Stature estimation of skeletal remains is mostly dependent on the lengths of long bones, but these are often unavailable in fragmented or commingled assemblages. To overcome this obstacle, we present an extension of the unisex stature estimation models for high-altitude Andean populations presented by Anzellini and Toyne (2020) using femoral and tibial articular breadths and diaphyseal diameters. We estimated the anatomical statures of 28 adults, both males and females, from Kuelap, Peru, and created linear regression formulae using Ridge regression with k-fold cross-validation. Thirty models were generated, with over half achieving standard error values below ±4 cm and tibial multivariable models approaching the precision of length-based estimates. These results demonstrate that epiphyseal breadths and midshaft diameters offer reliable alternatives for stature estimation when complete elements are unavailable, expanding options for analyses and providing valuable information that may otherwise go ignored.
