Sex- and body surface area-specific distribution and developmental trends of left ventricular structure and function during early adolescence.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2026. 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
To characterize sex- and body surface area (BSA)-related distributional patterns and developmental trends of left ventricular (LV) structure and function in healthy early adolescents. This cross-sectional study included 417 healthy children aged 10-13 years, stratified by BSA (0.90-1.20, 1.20-1.50, and 1.50-1.80 m
conclusionsIn healthy early adolescents, LV structure and volumes scale primarily with BSA, whereas LV functional indices are largely stable across the BSA spectrum. Sex differences are small and mainly reflected by a curved shape, supporting the use of BSA-stratified (rather than sex-specific) reference intervals for this age group. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Early adolescence is a key pubertal growth phase, but data on cardiac adaptation and remodeling are limited. • Current reference systems recommend BSA-based rather than age-based stratification, but whether there are sex differences in BSA levels in early adolescence remains unclear. WHAT IS NEW: • We provide BSA-stratified reference intervals and model BSA-related LV structure/function patterns in early adolescents using kernel density and GAMs. • In early adolescence, sex differences are clinically negligible and mainly at higher BSA, supporting BSA-based rather than age- or sex-specific references.
