Quantitative bone US measurements in neonates and their mothers.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2008. 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
backgroundFactors that affect quantitative ultrasound (QUS) bone measurements have not been clearly defined for all clinical populations.
objectiveTo determine some technical and clinical aspects that may affect QUS bone measurement in the neonate-maternal dyad. MATERIALS AND
methodsSpeed of sound (SOS) was measured at the radius and tibia using a commercial multisite axial transmission QUS instrument and three manufacturer-provided probes (CS, CR and CM).
resultsThe study included 183 singleton neonates and 159 mothers. The type of probe, weight and edema significantly affected SOS measurements. In infants, the CS and CR probes measured SOS consistently at the tibia but not the radius. Gestational age was predictive of SOS from the CS probe and remained significant when race, gender, and birth weight were included. None of these parameters predicted SOS when using the CR probe. Maternal SOS at the radius and tibia was correlated with the CM probe. Maternal SOS was predicted by age but not by gravid status, number of living children, or race. There was no consistent correlation between maternal-infant dyad SOS measurements.
conclusionsAxial transmission SOS of bone varies with probe and site and is affected by technical and clinical factors. Valid data depend on documentation of the probes used and the clinical population studied.
