The Association between Sleep and Bone Mineral Density: Cross-Sectional Study Using Health Check-up Data in a Local Hospital in Japan.
Article in JBMR plus, 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
This study aimed to investigate the association between daily sleep duration of <7 hours and lower bone mineral density (BMD) using data from annual health check-ups conducted in Japan between 2020 and 2022. Multivariate regression models were used, where BMD was the objective variable and daily sleep duration (<5 hours, 5 to <7 hours, 7 to <9 hours [reference], ≥9 hours) was the exposure variable adjusted for age, body mass index, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol intake for men and women and further adjusted for menopausal status for women. The association between insomnia and BMD was also investigated. BMD was determined using calcaneal quantitative ultrasound and expressed as a percentage of the young adult mean (%YAM). In total, 896 men and 821 women were included. Median age was 54 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 46 to 64) for men and 55 years (IQR: 46 to 64) for women). Median BMD for men and women was 79%YAM (IQR: 71 to 89) and 75%YAM (IQR: 68 to 84), respectively. Approximately 80% of men and women slept <7 hours daily. Multivariate regression showed no association between sleep duration and BMD in men. However, women who slept 5 to <7 hours daily had significantly higher BMD by 3.9% compared with those who slept 7 to<9 hours (
