The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02984553 (The Use of Lactate Thresholds to Individualize Accelerometer Cut-points and Objectively Assess Physical Activity Levels in Postmenopausal Women), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
introductionHigh-impact exercise is known to be beneficial for bones. However, the optimal amount of exercise is not known. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between the intensity of exercise and bone mineral density (BMD).
methodsWe performed a 12-month population-based trial with 120 women (aged 35-40 years) randomly assigned to an exercise group or to a control group. The intensity of the physical activity of 64 women was assessed with an accelerometer-based body movement monitor. The daily activity was analyzed at five acceleration levels (0.3-1.0 g, 1.1-2.4 g, 2.5-3.8 g, 3.9-5.3 g, and 5.4-9.2 g). BMD was measured at the hip, spine (L1-L4), and radius by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The calcaneus was measured using quantitative ultrasound.
resultsPhysical activity that induced acceleration levels exceeding 3.9 g correlated positively with the BMD change in the hip area (p<0.05-0.001). L1 BMD change correlated positively with activity exceeding 5.4 g (p<0.05) and calcaneal speed of sound with the level of 1.1-2.4 g (p< 0.05). Baseline BMD was negatively associated with the BMD change at the hip.
conclusionThe intensity of exercise, measured as the acceleration level of physical activity, was significantly correlated with BMD changes. Bone stimulation is reached during normal physical exercise in healthy premenopausal women. In the hip area, the threshold level for improving BMD is less than 100 accelerations per day at levels exceeding 3.9 g.
