Prediction of bone mineral density and content from measures of physical activity and sedentary behavior in younger and older females.

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
backgroundLittle is known regarding the extent to which physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) influence bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in females across the lifespan.
methodsData from 2232 females aged 12 years and older collected as part of the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Categories of PA and SB were used to predict femoral and spinal BMD and BMC in four age groups (G1: 12-17; G2: 18-39; G3: 40-64; G4: ≥ 65 years). Self-reported PA categories included sufficient moderate-to-vigorous recreational PA (S-MVRPA) and insufficient MVRPA (I-MVRPA).
resultsG1 females who accumulated S-MVRPA displayed greater femoral and spinal BMC and BMD compared to G1 females who displayed I-MVRPA. For G4 females, higher levels of SB were associated with lower femoral BMC and BMD.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of engaging in sufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during adolescence and reducing sedentary behavior in older adults to improve bone health in females.
