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

Potential determinants of bone mass were investigated in a group of 70 young females (mean age 26.6 years), daughters of women studied in premenopause. Nutritional data, leisure physical activity level, lifestyle habits as well as familial similarities were assessed. The daughters' bone mineral density (BMD), measured by dual-energy absorptiometry, was significantly correlated with their body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.22), dietary vitamin D intake (r = 0.19) and their mothers' BMD (r = 0.44). Multiple regression analysis indicated that only the mothers' BMD remained an independent predictor of bone mass. Mother-daughter correlations were also observed for body weight (r = 0.24), height (r = 0.39), BMI (r = 0.29), dietary calcium intake (r = 0.20), and calcium (r = 0.20) or vitamin D (r = 0.25) intakes from dairy products. Hence, these observations support the evidence that mothers' BMD is the strongest predictor of bone mass of young women in their third decade.
