Osteoporosis health beliefs and practices among Korean immigrants in Nova Scotia.
Article in Journal of immigrant health, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The purpose of this research was to investigate osteoporosis knowledge, as well as health beliefs and practices among Korean immigrants in Nova Scotia. Twenty-six participants (18 women and eight men) completed the questionnaire. The mean age of participants was 48, and their average length of stay in Canada was 14 years. The mean osteoporosis knowledge score was 50% for both men and women and perceived susceptibility to the disease was low, especially in men. Perceived seriousness and health motivation was high relative to perceived susceptibility. Only 62% indicated both that their diet met their nutritional and cultural needs, and changes in dietary and exercise habits since arrival in Canada were reported by 73 and 64%, respectively. This study helped identify existing osteoporosis awareness weaknesses in this population: a). Perceived susceptibility, especially for men; and b). knowledge related to prevention and treatment options, including diet and exercise.
