Whole-body bone mineral density and markers of bone homeostasis in adults with normal-weight obesity.
Article in Obesity pillars, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: Normal-weight obesity (NWO) describes individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI), but high body fat percent. NWO are at-risk for cardiometabolic diseases, but little is known about their bone health. Methods: Adults (N = 24) were classified as NWO (n = 12; 5M/7F) or low body fat percent controls (Con; n = 12; 6M/6F). Body composition and whole-body bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed using DXA. A serum bioplex assay was performed to examine markers related to bone formation and resorption. Results: In addition to higher body fat percent and visceral fat, NWO had lower whole-body BMD relative to Con ( Conclusion: In this preliminary study, adults with NWO displayed lower whole-body BMD alongside evidence of bone resorption. Impaired bone health may be another subclinical risk factor present in NWO.
