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
Studies examining recent bone mineral density (BMD) trends in the US population are limited. In our study, we found that age-adjusted mean BMD among US men and women was stable from 2005 to 2010, but then declined in 2013-2014. We also explored factors associated with decreasing BMD in recent years.
introductionOsteoporosis prevalence in the USA declined between 1988 and 2006, while the declining trend in hip fracture may have plateaued in 2013-2014. We aimed to examine whether there has been a corresponding change in BMD trajectory for the US population.
methodsContinuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2005-2006 to 2013-2014 were analyzed to examine BMD trends among US men and women aged 30 years and older and among different race/ethnicity subgroups. ANOVA and Bonferroni adjustments were used to examine the differences in mean BMD, and multiple linear regressions adjusting for potential confounding effects were employed to examine BMD trends.
resultsAfter age standardization, the mean BMD of the femur neck for the first three NHANES cycles was stable (all p > 0.1) in both men and women, but significantly decreased in 2013-2014, from 0.864 g/cm
conclusionsAge-adjusted mean BMD decreased in 2013-2014 in both men and women, and this significant decrease was also observed in sensitivity and subgroup analyses. The decreased BMD in 2013-2014 still remained significant even after being adjusted for multiple potentially confounding effects.
