The association of vitamin D with bone microarchitecture, muscle strength, and mobility performance in older women in long-term care.
Trial report in Bone, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundOsteoporosis and sarcopenia are prevalent in older adults. Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a novel method to evaluate bone microarchitecture, whereas grip strength and gait speed are simple methods to assess muscle strength and function. Few studies have linked the relationship between vitamin D levels (25OHD) with TBS, grip strength, and gait speed in healthy community dwelling adults. We sought to investigate this relationship in older women with osteoporosis and multiple comorbid conditions residing in long-term care (LTC) facilities.
methodsWe analyzed baseline 25OHD, spine TBS, grip strength, and gait speed in 246 women with osteoporosis who were residents of LTC and enrolled in a randomized controlled clinical trial.
resultsOn average, participants were 81.6 years old and had a BMI of 26.8 kg/m
conclusionIn older women residing in LTC facilities, 25OHD was associated with spine TBS and gait speed. The strengths of the associations suggest there may be other factors with a more prominent role in bone microarchitecture, muscle strength, and physical function in this population. MINI ABSTRACT: Our study found in older women who are residents of long-term care facilities, vitamin D level is associated with bone microarchitecture and mobility performance.
