Jump power and force have distinct associations with cortical bone parameters: findings from a population enriched by individuals with high bone mass.
Observational study in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
contextLittle is known of the relationships between muscle function and bone, based on the recently developed technique of jumping mechanography.
objectiveOur objective was to determine associations between peak ground reaction force and peak power during a 1-legged hopping test and a single 2-legged jump, respectively, and cortical bone parameters. DESIGN AND
settingThis was a cross-sectional observational study in participants from the high bone mass cohort.
participantsParticipants included 70 males (mean age 58 years) and 119 females (mean age 56 years); high bone mass cases and controls were pooled.
main outcome measuresTotal hip bone mineral density (BMD) (measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scanning) and mid-tibial peripheral quantitative computed tomography (Stratec XCT2000L).
resultsJump power was positively related to hip BMD (standardized β [95% confidence interval]=0.29 [0.07, 0.51], P=.01), but hopping force was not (0.03 [-0.16, 0.22], P=.74) (linear regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, height, and weight). In 113 participants with force and peripheral quantitative computed tomography data, both jump power and hopping force were positively associated with tibial strength strain index (0.26 [0.09, 0.44], P<.01; and 0.24 [0.07, 0.42], P=.01 respectively). Although hopping force was positively associated with bone size (total bone area 0.22 [0.03, 0.42], P=.02), jump power was not (0.10 [-0.10, 0.30], P=.33). In contrast, jump power was inversely associated with endocortical circumference adjusted for periosteal circumference (-0.24 [-0.40, -0.08], P<.01) whereas no association was seen for hopping force (-0.10 [-0.26, 0.07], P=.24).
conclusionsAlthough power and force are both positively associated with cortical bone strength, distinct mechanisms appear to be involved because power was primarily associated with reduced endocortical expansion (reflected by endocortical circumference adjusted for periosteal circumference, and hip BMD), whereas force was associated with increased periosteal expansion (reflected by total bone area).
