Decreased bone mineral density in young adults treated with SCT in childhood: the role of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
We measured bone mineral density (BMD) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in the total body, at the lumbar spine, at the femoral neck and in the total hip, in 18 young adults with a median of 18.2 years after SCT. Fifteen patients had undergone auto-SCT and all patients had received TBI. The patients had significantly lower BMD in the total body, at the femoral neck, and in the total hip compared with age- and sex-matched controls. Six of 18 patients (33%) had low bone mass (z-score <-1) at one or more measurement sites, as opposed to two of the controls (11%, P=0.29). We found no significant influence of growth hormone levels or of untreated hypogonadism on BMD variables. Levels of 25-hydroxy (25(OH)) vitamin D were lower among the patients (35.2 vs 48.8 nmol/L, P=0.044) and were significantly correlated with total body BMD in the patient group (r=0.55, P=0.021). All six patients with low bone mass had hypovitaminosis D (≤37 nmol/L as opposed to 4 of the 11 (36%) patients without low bone mass (P=0.035). In conclusion, we found decreased BMD in SCT survivors, which may in part be caused by 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency.
