Association of bone mineralization markers with dietary nutrient intake in adolescents with and without biochemical osteomalacia.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Dietary intake is widely known to play a crucial role in achieving peak bone mass among children and adolescents. Unfortunately, this information is lacking among Arab adolescents, an understudied demographic that has recently been observed to have a high prevalence of abnormal mineralization markers [low serum 25(OH)D, high serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), low calcium (Ca) and/or inorganic phosphate (Pi)] suggestive of biochemical osteomalacia (OM, defined as any 2 of the 4 parameters). In order to fill this gap, we aimed to evaluate the associations of serum markers of biochemical OM with dietary intake of macronutrients, vitamins and trace minerals. Methods: Saudi adolescents ( Results: A total of 1819 (1,083 girls and 736 boys) adolescents provided the dietary recall data. Biochemical OM was identified in 175 (9.6%) participants (13.5% in girls, 3.9% in boys, Conclusion: Arab adolescents do not meet the RDI for dietary Ca and vitamin D, and none have sufficient vitamin D status (25(OH)D levels >50 nmol/L) but they exceed the RDI for dietary Pi. Interpreting these data in the light of the increased prevalence of rickets in Arab countries, food fortification to optimise vitamin D and Ca intake in Saudi adolescents should be considered.
