Psychological state, quality of life, and body composition in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in Lithuania.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
summaryThe objective of this study was to determine body composition, physical activity, and psychological state in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Fat mass, lean mass, water mass, and basal metabolic rate are lower, self-reported physical activity and risk factors of fractures are higher, and cognitive functions were worse in osteoporotic patients than in controls. Significant correlations were found between physical activity and emotional state parameters.
introductionThis study aims to determine peculiarities of body composition, physical activity, risk factors predicting fractures, psychological state and quality of life, and possible relations between them in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in Lithuania.
methodsThirty-one postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and 29 healthy age- and sex-matched controls were included in the study. Profile of Mood State and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used for the assessment of emotional state. Trail Making Test and Digit Symbol Test of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale were used to evaluate cognitive functioning. Quality of life was evaluated using the World Health Organization Brief Quality of Life Questionnaire. Risk of fractures was assessed by the Risk Factors Predicting Questionnaire.
resultsFat mass (22.4 +/- 4.7 vs. 40.6 +/- 14.2 kg, p < 0.001), lean mass (37.3 +/- 6.0 vs. 48.1 +/- 7.6 kg, p < 0.001), water mass (31.6 +/- 2.9 vs. 38.3 +/- 5.3 kg, p < 0.001), and basal metabolic rate (1,253 +/- 132 vs. 1,456 +/- 126 kcal, p < 0.001) were lower in osteoporotic patients than in controls. Self-reported physical activity (2.35 +/- 0.6 vs. 1.69 +/- 0.5, p < 0.001) and risk factors of fractures (5.9 +/- 2.1 vs. 2.6 +/- 2.4, p < 0.001) were higher in women with osteoporosis than in healthy age- and sex-matched controls (2.35 +/- 0.6 vs. 69 +/- 0.5, p < 0.001). Trail making A and B scores were higher in patients than in age- and sex-matched controls (55.8 +/- 19.9 vs. 45.1 +/- 19.9, p = 0.07 and 118.2 +/- 34.6 vs. 92.8 +/- 48.7, p = 0.006). Some significant correlations were detected between physical activity and emotional state and quality of life parameters.
conclusionIn postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, fat body mass, lean body mass, water body mass, basal metabolic rate, and waist-to-hip ratio are lower, physical activity and risk of fractures are higher, and cognitive functions are worse than in age- and sex-matched controls. Some psychological peculiarities could be related to physical activity in women with osteoporosis.
