The use of quantitative ultrasound in assessing bone status in newborn preterm infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03884322 (Self Regulated Physical Activity and Bone Growth Enhancement in Premature Infants), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveQuantitative ultrasound is increasingly used to assess bone status in adults and children; however, few studies have been carried out in neonates. Our objective was to determine if tibial bone speed of sound (SOS) correlates with gestational age and birth anthropometrics, and if bone SOS is related to maternal factors. STUDY
designWe prospectively studied 95 preterm infants to assess factors related to bone status as measured by quantitative ultrasound.
resultsWe found significant (p< or =0.001) positive correlations between SOS and gestational age, birth weight, length, head circumference and tibial length. There was no significant relationship between SOS and prenatal steroid use, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, race or parity.
conclusionsQuantitative ultrasound is an easy to use and inexpensive tool for assessing bone status in preterm neonates. Tibial SOS correlated with gestational age and birth anthropometrics, and was not related by few maternal factors.
