1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPeripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) can provide information complementary to dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), however, there is sparse normative data to enable meaningful clinical interpretation and comparison. This study aimed to develop age-stratified normative data for pQCT-derived bone parameters in Australian men.

methodsParticipants were men (

resultsThirteen parameters at tibial and radial sites were correlated with age, height and weight, allowing for their inclusion in multiple linear regression models. A positive association with age was found for total area of the tibia or radius (as appropriate) (mm

conclusionThis study presents normative data for pQCT-derived bone parameters and describes age related associations in a number of these variables. Broadly, parameters of bone area were positively associated with age, whereas parameters associated with bone density and structure were negatively associated with age. These data have the potential to be used in clinical settings when assessing age-related decline in bone health. MINI ABSTRACT: Normative data for pQCT parameters in Australian men are presented, adjusted for age, height and weight.
