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
Bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur helps evaluate bone density in children with reduced mechanical loading of the lower extremities. This study provides the first reference values of bone mineral density of proximal femur according to age and sex for Southeast Asian children and adolescents.
objectivesThe study aimed to (1) establish normative data of BMD of the proximal femur (femoral neck and total hip), measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), for healthy Thai children aged 5 to 18 years and (2) ascertain the relationships between BMD, growth, and puberty.
methodsProximal femur scans of 170 boys and 191 girls obtained from DXA (Lunar Prodigy Pro, GE, and software enCORE version 7.53) were un-analyzed and then re-analyzed with the upgraded software enCORE version 17 SP2 for BMD assessment. The bone mineral apparent density of the femoral neck (FNBMAD) was calculated.
resultsSex and Tanner stage-specific BMD normative data were generated. BMD values of the femoral neck and total hip increased with age and pubertal progression. FNBMAD values were not markedly influenced by age and puberty. Using multiple linear regression analysis, age and weight affected FNBMD and total hip BMD in boys and girls, but height and Tanner stage only influenced girls. Age did not significantly influence FNBMAD in either sex. Tanner stage weakly influenced FNBMAD only in boys.
conclusionsWe established normative reference data for BMD of the proximal femur measured by DXA in Thai children aged 5 to 18 years. Our reference data will help clinicians and researchers assess and interpret the BMD of the proximal femur for Southeast Asian children.
