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

Precocious puberty (PP) is a common pediatric endocrine disorder with rising global incidence, significantly compromising children's quality of life and long-term health. Current therapeutic options remain limited in applicability, leaving many patients inadequately controlled. Prevention targeting known risk factors is substantially more cost-effective than post-diagnosis treatment; however, the available evidence on PP risk factors remains fragmented. This review systematically synthesizes the risk factors for PP across seven age stages-preconception period, fetal period, infancy, toddlerhood, preschool age, school age, and adolescence-and eight domains: genetic predisposition and family history, maternal conditions and prenatal factors, delivery mode and early feeding patterns, dietary behaviors and nutritional status, individual lifestyle habits, family/school/community environments, early clinical signs and indicators, and pre-existing and idiopathic medical conditions. Corresponding preventive strategies, including optimizing parental reproductive health, promoting balanced nutrition, physical activity, and psychosocial well-being, and fostering multi-sector collaboration, are briefly discussed. This review aims to raise awareness of PP risk factors and facilitate the implementation of preventive strategies.
