Correlation between the combination of apparent integrated backscatter-spectral centroid shift and bone mineral density.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo introduce a new diagnostic parameter: the linear combination of apparent integrated backscatter and spectral centroid shift.
methodsUltrasonic backscatter measurements were performed at the calcanei of 1262 volunteers in vivo. The hip and spine bone mineral densities of the volunteers were measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry. The apparent integrated backscatter and spectral centroid shift were calculated. A new diagnostic parameter, i.e., the linear combination of apparent integrated backscatter and spectral centroid shift, was introduced and its correlation to bone mineral density was analyzed.
resultsThe results show that the combination of apparent integrated backscatter and spectral centroid shift is significantly correlated to bone mineral density (R = 0.73-0.84, n = 1262, p < 0.05), and that this correlation is more significant than the correlation between the apparent integrated backscatter and bone mineral density or the correlation between spectral centroid shift and bone mineral density (R = 0.48-0.69, p < 0.05).
conclusionThe combination of apparent integrated backscatter and spectral centroid shift can provide the complementary information of attenuation of the two parameters and predict more information about cancellous bone, and may be employed to assess cancellous bone status.
