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

unlabelledIn this retrospective study spanning 22 years, 167 untreated females with Ullrich-Turner syndrome were identified and their case records followed throughout their growth period. Information on total and segmental height and weight was retrieved from the case records and used to plot growth curves. Centiles from birth to adulthood were calculated which showed that the normal pubertal growth spurt was absent. Compared with normal French reference standards, the adult total height deficit was about 21 cm and the adult upper body height deficit was about 15 cm.

conclusionReference curves for untreated Ullrich-Turner syndrome are provided, which should form a basis for assessing the impact of growth-promoting treatment in this disorder.
