Effect of diet and lifestyle factors on bone health in postmenopausal women.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Our objective was to examine the effect of nutritional intake and lifestyle factors on bone mass in postmenopausal Saudi women. A total of 122 apparently healthy postmenopausal Saudi women were recruited from the Center of Excellence for Osteoporosis Research in Jeddah. A questionnaire on lifestyle habits and dietary intake was administered to all participants. Anthropometric and bone mineral density (BMD) values were measured. Fasting blood samples were taken to measure concentrations of bone-related parameters and hormones. Most of the sample population was found to be vitamin D deficient with a serum vitamin D level below 50 nmol/l. Those participants with normal BMD values had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels than osteopenic individuals (P < 0.05). Overall, mean total caloric, total fat, and saturated fat intakes were above recommended levels. Almost 60% of the total study population had lower calcium intake than the estimated average requirements whereas the whole population had vitamin D intake level below the estimated average requirements. Only BMD of the femoral neck showed significant correlations with serum vitamin D level and dietary cholesterol intake. After adjustment for confounding variables; serum vitamin D levels were significantly correlated with cholesterol intake. Dietary calcium intake was significantly correlated with intake of protein and fiber whereas dietary vitamin D intake was significantly correlated with intake level of total fat, all fatty acids, cholesterol, and fiber. Our findings reveal the important role of dietary vitamin D and calcium in osteopenic patients and the likely requirement for supplementation of these nutrients in the Saudi population.
