Visceral Fat Is a Negative Determinant of Bone Health in Obese Postmenopausal Women.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The protective effect of obesity on bone health has been challenged by studies that link visceral adiposity to poor bone microarchitecture in young obese men and women. In postmenopausal women, the role of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) on bone turnover markers (BTMs) has not been investigated. The aim was to investigate the impact of VAT on BTMs, total bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D metabolites and parathyroid levels (1-84 PTH) levels in postmenopausal women. A total of 76 lean and overweight women (without osteoporosis) underwent VAT measurements by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (iDXA). Blood samples were analyzed for serum C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX-1), osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP), 1-84 PTH and vitamin D (25 hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D) levels. VAT volumes ranged from 91 to 3392 cm
