Associations between paraspinal muscles fatty infiltration and lumbar vertebral bone mineral density - An investigation by fast kVp switching dual-energy CT and QCT.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between paraspinal muscles fat content and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: A total of 119 participants were enrolled in our study (60 males, age: 50.88 ± 17.79 years, BMI: 22.80 ± 3.80 kg·m Results: The paraspinal muscles fat content had a fairly significant inverse association with lumbar BMD after controlling for age, sex, and BMI (adjusted Conclusion: Paraspinal muscles fat content was negatively associated with BMD.Paraspinal muscles fatty infiltration may be considered as a potential marker to identify BMD loss.
