Impact of an exercise program in children with inflammatory bowel disease in remission.

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
backgroundThe aim of our study was to investigate the impact of a structured exercise program on bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition parameters in children and adolescents with IBD in remission.
methodsPatients were recruited to participate in a 6-month exercise program. Total body less head (TLBH) dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure BMD. The same method was used to assess fat mass (FM) and lean body mass (LBM) at baseline and at the completion of the program.
resultsBased on the baseline and endpoint TBLH DXA measurements, a total of 42 study participants (25 boys; aged 15.3 ± 2.08 years) experienced an increase in BMD (from 0.959 ± 0.023 g/cm
conclusionsThere was a significant improvement in BMD, age- and sex-based BMD Z-score, and LBM amongst study participants. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with CD and male study participants experienced significant improvement in all parameters, whilst patients with UC and IBD-U and female patients experienced improvement solely in BMD. IMPACT STATEMENT: Children and adolescents with IBD, regardless of disease activity, are under increased risk of secondary osteoporosis and lean body mass deficits. A 6-month home-based structured exercise program leads to a significant improvement in bone mineral density and lean body mass. Exercise therapy should be explored as a potentially adjacent to standard treatment modalities.
