Reproducibility of DXA-based bone strain index and the influence of body mass: an in vivo study.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesBone strain index (BSI) is a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived index of bone strength obtained from lumbar densitometric scan. We estimated the reproducibility of BSI in healthy women with different body mass index.
methodsWe enrolled postmenopausal women (mean age ± SD: 66 ± 10 years) divided into three groups (A, B and C) according to body mass index (BMI: < 25; 25-29.9; ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsBSI increased proportionally to BMI and WC and significantly in group C compared to B and A (p = 0.032 and 0.006, respectively). BSI was significantly higher in E compared to D (p = 0.017), whereas no differences were observed in BMD. Although BSI reproducibility was slightly lower in group C (89%), the differences were not significant between all groups. BMD reproducibility did not significantly differ between all groups.
conclusionsBSI reproducibility was significantly lower than that of BMD and decreased proportionally to BMI and WC increase. This reduction of BSI reproducibility was more pronounced in patients with BMI ≥ 30 and WC > 88, as expected, being BSI a parameter sensible to weight.
