The effect of short-term high-caloric feeding and fasting on bone microarchitecture.
Article in Bone, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundStates of chronic overnutrition and undernutrition are both associated with impaired bone health and increased fracture risk but there are no data on bone microarchitecture following short-term controlled nutritional challenges.
objectiveThe purpose of our study was to evaluate the impact of short-term high-caloric feeding and fasting on bone microarchitecture. We hypothesized that both high-caloric feeding and fasting would have negative effects on microarchitecture. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe recruited 23 adult healthy subjects (13 males, 10 females, mean age 33.2 ± 1.4 years, mean BMI 26.0 ± 1.5 kg/m
resultsDuring the high-caloric period, there was a mean increase in weight by 6.3 + 1.7% (p < 0.0001). There were no significant changes in bone parameters in the distal tibia or distal radius (p > 0.05). During the stabilization period there was a significant reduction in weight by -2.7 + 1.9% (p < 0.0001) but no change in bone parameters (p > 0.05). During the fasting period there was a further reduction in weight by -8.8 + 1.2% (p < 0.0001). In the distal tibia, there was a significant increase in total and cortical vBMD, trabecular and cortical parameters as well as strength estimates (p < 0.05). In the distal radius there was an increase in total and trabecular vBMD (p < 0.05), while there were no changes in other microarchitecture parameters or strengths estimates.
conclusionShort-term fasting after high-caloric feeding improves vBMD, bone microarchitecture and strength estimates of the distal tibia, while short-term high-caloric feeding does not change vBMD or microarchitecture. These results suggest that short-term fasting after high-caloric feeding in healthy individuals improves bone health and that these changes can be detected using HRpQCT in-vivo.
