Bone status in elite male runners.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00292916 (Effect of Whole Body Vibration on Bone and Fall Related Parameters - the Erlangen Longitudinal Vibration Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to compare long distance runners to body mass index (BMI)- and age-matched healthy controls with respect to bone parameters at all relevant loaded and nonloaded skeletal sites. Furthermore, we assessed the effect of running volume on bone parameters. Twenty elite male runners (21.1 km<1:15 h; volume >75 km/week/year) participated in the study (RG), 11 age- and BMI-matched male subjects (28+/-5 years) served as nontraining controls (CG). Subjects with any medication or illness affecting bone metabolism or with a family history of osteoporosis were not included. Bone parameters at various sites (total body, lumbar spine, femoral neck/hip, calcaneus) were measured by dual energy X-ray (DXA), quantitative computed tomography and quantitative ultrasound. Body composition was assessed via DXA and bioimpedance analysis; nutritional parameters were determined by 5-day dietary protocols. Training variables were assessed by questionnaires. Compared with nontraining controls runners had significantly higher BMD at all loaded sites (calcaneus, lower limbs, femoral neck, pelvis, and trabecular lumbar spine). BMD at nonloaded sites (ribs, upper limbs, and skull) was slightly but not significantly higher in the runners. We observed a low (r=0.30), nonsignificant association between training volume (km/week/year) and trabecular BMD of the femoral neck, which disappeared after adjusting for age, BMI, and body fat in this group of highly trained male runners. The effect of long distance running per se on bone parameters is not deleterious.
