WHOLE BODY AND REGIONAL BONE MINERAL CONTENT AND DENSITY IN WOMEN AGED 20-75 YEARS.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundDual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) allows measurement of whole body (WB) and regional bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD).
objectiveTo measure WB and regional bone area, BMC and BMD (arms, legs, ribs and pelvis) in women of different ages. SUBJECTS AND
methods140 women participated (age range 20-75 yrs). Three subgroups were built: 20-44 yr (30 premenopausal women), 45-59 (80 women), and 60-75 (30 women). WB DXA was performed on a Hologic QDR 4500 A bone densitometer (Hologic Inc., Bedford MA). WB BMD T-scores were calculated by using the manufacturer-provided and the NHANES 1999-2004 reference databases, while the WB BMC Z-scores - based on the latter. Statistical analysis was performed on an IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 for Windows platform (Chicago, IL).
resultsWB BMC and BMD Z-scores were consistently lower than the reference databases showing a difference of about 0.4 - 0.5 SD. The arms, legs and ribs lost more BMC after the age of 50-55, while the pelvis - much earlier. The total decreases in BMC were highest in the pelvis (26.36 %), followed by the arms (16.81 %) and whole body (15.91 %), while the bone area decreased mostly in the pelvis (13.23 %).
conclusionThe age-related declines in regional BMC, bone areas and BMD follow different patterns in appendicular and axial bones.
