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
This cross-sectional study was designed to investigate correlations between muscle strength and regional bone mineral density (BMD) in sedentary postmenopausal women. Sixty-two women who ranged in age from 41 to 76 years were investigated. Hip and trunk muscle strength was measured by isokinetic dynamometry. Grip strength of the nondominant hand was measured using a hand-held dynamometer. Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, femur, and distal radius was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Only the correlation between hip abductor strength and femoral BMD was significant (P = 0.009, r = 0.327). There was no correlation between trunk muscle strength and lumbar vertebral BMD or between grip strength and distal radius BMD. Subjects with osteoporosis (T score < -2.5) or osteopenia T (-2.5 to -1) and normal subjects (T > -1) exhibited similar isokinetic hip and trunk muscle strength. Women with osteoporotic distal radii had significantly lower grip strength than subjects who were osteopenic or normal at this site, but the osteoporotic group was also significantly older. In conclusion, our results indicate that the isokinetic strength of hip abductors weakly correlates with femoral BMD in postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis. Trunk muscle strength did not correlate with lumbar vertebral BMD in either of these groups. The weaker handgrip we observed in the women with osteoporotic radii may be attributed to older age.
