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

Background: Gonadotropin releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa) are recommended for both central precocious puberty (CPP) and early and fast puberty, but their benefit on final adult height in later onset cases remains controversial. Boennuokang Methods: This real-world, single-arm, retrospective cohort study consecutively enrolled 198 early and fast puberty girls treated with Boennuokang Results: The mean CA and BA of girls were 9.73±0.99 and 12.08±0.82 years, respectively. Luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol decreased after 18 months of treatment (all P<0.001). Specifically, the median [quartile 1 (Q1)-quartile 3 (Q3)] LH decreased from 2.7 (2.23-3.51) mIU/mL at T0 to 0.66 (0.48-1.22) mIU/mL at T4; the median (Q1-Q3) FSH decreased from 5.27 (4.82-6.10) mIU/mL at T0 to 2.00 (1.56-2.42) mIU/mL at T4; the median estradiol decreased from 163.50 (129.00-195.00) pmol/L at T0 to 36.70 (36.70-36.70) pmol/L at T4. Of note, the proportions of girls in the Tanner stage B5 exhibited a decreasing trend over time. The length of uterus decreased after 18 months of treatment (P<0.001). BA/CA ratio (P<0.001) and growth velocity (P=0.002) decreased over time. PAH increased, and loss in growth potential [genetic target height (GTH) minus PAH] decreased over time (both P<0.001). Body mass index initially increased after 3 months of treatment, then showed a reducing trend until month 18 (P=0.005). Conclusions: Boennuokang
