Pubertal induction in Turner syndrome without gonadal function: A possibility of earlier, lower-dose estrogen therapy.
Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Delayed and absent puberty and infertility in Turner syndrome (TS) are caused by primary hypogonadism. A majority of patients with TS who are followed at hospitals during childhood will not experience regular menstruation. In fact, almost all patients with TS need estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) before they are young adults. ERT in TS is administered empirically. However, some practical issues concerning puberty induction in TS require clarification, such as how early to start ERT. The present monograph aims to review current pubertal induction therapies for TS without endogenous estrogen production and suggests a new therapeutic approach using a transdermal estradiol patch that mimics incremental increases in circulating, physiological estradiol. Although evidence supporting this approach is still scarce, pubertal induction with earlier, lower-dose estrogen therapy more closely approximates endogenous estradiol secretion.
