1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

unlabelledThe impact of maternal veiling during pregnancy and of socioeconomic status on offspring's bone mass was investigated in 326 healthy adolescents. Veiling during pregnancy was associated with decreased musculoskeletal parameters in the offspring boys, but not girls. SES was a significant predictor of bone mass in both genders.

introductionThis study investigates the effects of maternal veiling during pregnancy, a surrogate for low vitamin D level, and socioeconomic status (SES), a surrogate of nutritional status, on their offspring's bone mass at adolescence.

methodsThree hundred and twenty-six healthy adolescents aged 13.1(2.0) years and their mothers were studied. The impact of maternal veiling on offspring's bone mass was evaluated through regression analyses. Outcome variables were bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC) at the spine, hip, and total body of the children. Predictors were maternal veiling during pregnancy and SES. Covariates were height, body composition, Tanner staging, calcium intake, vitamin D and exercise in children.

resultsIn boys, adjusted analyses revealed that both maternal veiling during pregnancy and SES were significant predictors of bone mass, at multiple skeletal sites. In girls, SES but not maternal veiling during pregnancy was a significant predictor of bone mass at multiple sites.

conclusionMaternal veiling during pregnancy was associated with decreased musculoskeletal parameters of boys, but not girls. SES was a significant predictor of bone mass in both genders. These findings may have profound implications on children's bone health.
