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

objectivesTo generate reference data for bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) measures among apparently healthy children aged 4-5 y and to study the relationship of BMC and BMD with age, sex, anthropometric measures, dietary intakes, and serum vitamin D levels.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 219 urban preschool children, aged 4.0-5.11 y. Bone health (BMC and BMD) was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Anthropometric parameters were measured using standard methodology. The 24-h dietary recall method was used to assess the dietary intake of the children. Serum vitamin D levels were assessed using the ELISA kit method. Percentiles for BMC and BMD for each age and sex were constructed using the lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) method.

resultsThe mean BMD and BMC among children was 0.75 ± 0.04 g/cm

conclusionThis study developed smoothed percentile curves for BMC and BMD in preschool children, which could be used as reference values for children from India.
