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
introductionPhysical activity (PA) is a key factor of bone mass acquisition in peripubertal children. Sedentary behavior (SB) has been shown to influence bone outcomes. This study aimed to examine the association between objectively measured PA and SB and bone stiffness in Japanese children. MATERIALS AND
methodsParticipants were fifth-grade children aged 10-11 years from Project Koshu. The stiffness index (SI) of the calcaneus was measured by quantitative ultrasound; PA and SB were evaluated by an accelerometer. Each PA parameter was divided into sex-specific tertile or stratified by recommended PA guideline [≥ 60 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA)]. The SI was compared among PA and SB through analysis of covariance with Bonferroni correction.
resultsOf 174 children, complete data were obtained from 134 (60 boys and 74 girls). The SI in boys was higher in the highest tertile of MVPA than that in the other groups. A similar association was found in girls but was not significant. Children who met the PA guideline had higher SI than those who did not, but there was no significant difference. A negative relation was observed in girls, with the SI gradually decreasing along with increasing SB (p for trend = 0.038). This association was not observed among boys.
conclusionThis study suggests that MVPA is positively associated with bone stiffness in Japanese schoolchildren in boys and SB is negatively associated with that in girls. Reducing SB might be a brief modifiable factor for preventing lower peak bone mass in girls, in addition to increasing MVPA.
