The Saturation Effect of Obesity on Bone Mineral Density for Older People: The NHANES 2017-2020.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that obesity has a positive effect on bone mineral density (BMD). However, excessive obesity is harmful to health, especially in older adults. In addition, it is unclear what body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) to maintain for the most beneficial BMD in older adults. Methods: Multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between BMI, WC, and femoral neck BMD using the most recent data from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Fitting smoothing curves and saturation effects analysis were also used to determine the association of nonlinear relationships between BMI, WC, and femoral neck BMD. Results: The analysis included a total of 2,903 adults. We discovered that BMD and WC were positively linked to femoral neck BMD. The favorable associations of BMI and WC with femoral neck BMD were maintained in all subgroup analyses stratified by sex and race, except among Mexican Americans. Furthermore, smoothing curve fitting revealed that the link between BMI and BMD was not only a linear connection, and that there was a saturation point. The BMI saturation value in the femoral neck BMD was 24.3 (kg/m Conclusions: In persons over the age of 50, our research found a positive relationship between obesity and BMD, and we also found a saturation value between BMI and BMD. According to this study, maintaining BMI at a moderate level (about 24.3 kg/m
