Mediating effects on health-related quality of life in adults with osteoporosis: a structural equation modeling.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2015.

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
unlabelledParticipants with physical limitation and high degree of pain had poor mental and physical health-related quality of life. In addition, the more support and exercise that the participants had, the more likely they were to report better health-related quality of life.
introductionOsteoporosis is a public health threat worldwide. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of individual demographics, disease characteristics, and social support on health-related quality of life (HrQoL) of adults with osteoporosis. Most psychosocial studies focused on the relationships but not the specific construct of social support on HrQoL.
methodsIn a correlational design, face-to-face, structured interviews were employed to collect information. Study questionnaires included a demographic sheet, the modified Social Support Inventory, and the Short-Form 36 scales on a convenience sample of 161 individuals recruited from four outpatient centers. Using the structural equation modeling approach, all relationships among factors, mediators, and HrQoL were analyzed.
resultsThe mean duration of osteoporosis was longer than 5 years. Participants who exercised more than three times per week had greater HrQoL than individuals who exercised less frequently. Participants with physical limitation and high degree of pain had poor mental and physical HrQoL. The more support that the participants perceived, the more likely they were to report better HrQoL. The best fitted structural equation modeling (SEM) model included individual demographics and physical function, and social support as significant predictors on HrQoL, with informational support and physical function acting as mediators in those relationships. Moreover, this structural model explained 35, 42, and 40 % of the variance on activity of daily living (ADL), physical, and mental health-related quality of life.
conclusionsThe more informational support that individuals have, the more likely they were to report better HrQoL. Individuals with osteoporosis who have lower pain and more exercise are considered having better HrQoL. Further longitudinal research will help clarify the direction of these relationships.
