Association between physical activity and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study from the NHANES 2007-2018.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPhysical activity (PA) is generally encouraged for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, epidemiological statistics on the level of physical activity required for bone health are scarce. The purpose of this research was to analyze the association between PA and total spine bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women.
methodsThe research study included postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The metabolic equivalent (MET), weekly frequency, and duration of each activity were used to calculate PA. Furthermore, the correlations between BMD and PA were investigated by multivariable weighted logistic regression.
resultsEventually, 1681 postmenopausal women were included, with a weighted mean age of 62.27 ± 8.18 years. This study found that performing ≥ 38MET-h/wk was linked to a lower risk of osteoporosis after controlling for several covariates. Furthermore, the subgroup analysis revealed that the connection between total spine BMD and moderate-to-vigorous PA was more obvious among postmenopausal women aged < 65 years or individuals with normal BMI (< 25 kg/m
conclusionPhysical activity ranging from moderate to vigorous was linked to higher total spine BMD in postmenopausal women.
