Association Between Muscular Strength and Bone Health from Children to Young Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07180485 (The Effectiveness of Whole Body Vibration Training in Improving Brain Activity, Bone Mineral Density, Quality of Life, and Biomarkers for the Older People With Dynapenic Abdominal Obesity), which is not on this map. Cited by 38 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
backgroundOsteoporosis is a major worldwide health concern. The acquisition of bone mass during growth decreases the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Muscular strength is an important and modifiable factor to improve bone development in this period.
objectiveThe aim of this review was to summarize the relationship between muscular strength and bone health.
methodsCross-sectional data from studies addressing this association from childhood to young adulthood were systematically searched. The DerSimonian and Laird method was used to compute pooled estimates of effect size and respective 95% CI. The meta-analyses were conducted separately for upper limbs or lower limbs muscular strength and for bone regions. Additionally, a regression model was used to estimate the influence of determinants such as age, lean mass, fat mass, height, weight and cardiorespiratory fitness in this association.
resultsThirty-nine published studies were included in the systematic review. The pooled effect size for the association of upper limbs muscular strength with upper limbs, spine and total body BMD ranged from 0.70 to 1.07 and with upper limbs, spine and total body BMC ranged from 1.84 to 1.30. The pooled effect size for the association of lower limbs muscular strength with lower limbs, spine and total body BMD ranged from 0.54 to 0.88 and with lower limbs, spine and total body BMC ranged between 0.81 and 0.71. All reported pooled effect size estimates were statistically significant.
conclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis supports that muscular strength should be considered as a useful skeletal health marker during development and a target outcome for interventions aimed at improving bone health.
