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

In this study, in 131 men aged 20-75 years, we investigated correlations between bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine and femoral neck and endogenous factors (age, body mass index) as well as exogenous factors (calcium intake, physical activity, smoking, caffeine, socioeconomic and educational levels). The age had a negative effect on femoral neck BMD in patients overall, and on both lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD in patients under 50. Physical activity has effects on femoral neck BMD in men above 50. Lumbar vertebral BMD negatively correlated with smoking in patients overall, and this correlation persisted when patients aged 50 and older were analyzed separately. Femoral neck BMD was positively correlated with body mass index in men aged 50 and older. Given the variety of findings in the research literature regarding risk factors for low BMD, we suggest that genetic and geographic factors should be considered.
