Age trends of bone mineral density and percentile curves in healthy Chinese children and adolescents.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The clinical utility of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurement requires appropriate normative values, designed to be diverse with respect to age, gender and ethnic background. The purpose of this study was to generate age-related trends for bone density in Chinese children and adolescents, and to establish a gender-specific reference database. A total of 1,541 Chinese children and adolescents aged from 5 to 19-years were recruited from southern China. Bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone area (BA) were measured for the total body (TB) and total body less head (TBLH). The height-for-age, height-for-BA, and BMC-for-BA percentile curves were developed using the least mean square method. TB BMD and TBLH BMD were highly correlated. After 18 years, TB BMD was significantly higher in boys than girls. For TB BMC and TBLH BMC, gender differences were found in age groups 12 years and 16-19 years; however, the TBLH BMD was significantly different between genders >16 years. The head region accounted for 13-52 and 16-49 % of the TB BMC in boys and girls, respectively. Furthermore, the percentages were negatively correlated with age and height. This study describes a gender-specific reference database for Chinese children and adolescents aged 5-19 years. These normative values could be used for clinical assessment in this population.
