A study on the validity of quantitative ultrasonic measurement used the bone mineral density values on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in young and in middle-aged or older women.

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
The influence of age and physique on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) was investigated in young, middle-aged, and older women. The validity of the bilateral calcaneal QUS values was investigated regarding the bone mineral density (BMD) values on DXA of the lumbar spine, left femoral neck, and left femur as the optimal standards. The subjects were 55 young women (19.6 +/- 1.0 years), and 152 middle-aged and older women (62.9 +/- 7.2 years). The BMD on DXA was significantly correlated with the bone strength on QUS in both young and middle-aged or older women, but the positive likelihood ratios of the standard QUS values recommended by the manufacturer to the optimum standards on DXA were low, suggesting that osteoporosis cannot be diagnosed or predicted by use of the QUS method. Combination with DXA is necessary, such as primary screening by QUS followed by secondary screening by DXA.
