Alterations to maternal cortical and trabecular bone in multiparous middle-aged mice.

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
objectivesDuring the reproductive cycle, altered calcium homeostasis is observed due to variable demand for mineral requirements. This results in increased bone resorption during the time period leading up to parturition and subsequent lactation. During lactation, women will lose 1-3% of bone mineral density per month, which is comparable to the loss experienced on an annual basis post-menopausal. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of parity on bone formation in middle-aged mice.
methodsMice were mated and grouped by number of parity and compared with age matched nulliparous controls. Measurements were taken of femoral trabecular and cortical bone. Calcium, protein and alkaline phosphatase levels were also measured.
resultsAn increase in trabecular bone mineral density was observed when comparing mice that had undergone parity once to the nulliparous control. An overall decrease in trabecular bone mineral density was observed as parity increased from 1 to 5 pregnancies. No alteration was seen in cortical bone formation. No difference was observed when calcium, protein and alkaline phosphatase levels were assessed.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that number of parity has an impact on trabecular bone formation in middle-aged mice, with substantial changes in bone density seen among the parous groups.
