History and Current Status of Growth Hormone Treatment in Children.
Article in Paediatric drugs, 2025. 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
Growth hormone (GH) has been used to treat severe GH deficiency for more than 60 years, with other indications dependent upon approval from national medical societies and governmental agencies. Many changes in GH preparations have been made to improve safety, compliance, and efficacy, from the extraction of GH from human pituitary glands to recombinant hormone technology and from the use of vials and syringes to the use of more advanced devices. Adherence to treatment has always been highlighted as a key point in the success of treatment; new depot preparations permitting weekly administration have advantages in this regard. This review summarizes the history of GH use and provides an analysis of the new weekly administration products.
