Acid-base balance of the diet-implications for bone and muscle.
Review in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07473713 (Veverimer to Decrease Net Acid Excretion and Bone Resorption in Adults With Osteopenia), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
Western diets are net acid-producing, based on their general characteristics of containing excessive amounts of grains in relation to their content of fruits and vegetables. The continuous consumption of acid-producing diets is countered by the renal excretion of the excess acid. However, when renal excretion is not adequate, as is the case in many older adults with mildly and moderately impaired renal function, other adaptations are employed to preserve neutrality. In adults who are unable to excrete the daily dietary acid load, the excess acid is buffered by bone. The mechanisms by which hydrogen ions affect bone have been well defined. Current evidence also indicates a role for muscle in preserving neutrality; however, the mechanism(s) by which this occurs have not been directly demonstrated. The evidence supporting the role of bone and muscle in defending against the development of frank metabolic acidosis are reviewed herein. This evidence stems from observational studies and randomized, controlled clinical trials. Gaps in the evidence that would be useful to fill are also indicated.
