Lifestyle Factors and Health Awareness for Improving Bone Density Acquisition in Adolescent Girls: A Pilot Study With Secondary Data.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesAdolescent girls are in an important life stage of peak bone mass (PBM) acquisition. We aimed to examine the provision of health guidance for female high school students and elucidate the factors that can increase bone density.
designA quantitative, cross-sectional analysis was used in conducting the study. SAMPLE: Sixty Japanese female first-year high school students comprised the study sample. MEASUREMENTS: We included secondary data from a bone mineral density survey conducted among female high school students in August 2016 and analyzed in 2023.
resultsThirty participants each (age, mean±SD, 15.80±0.45 years) were assigned to the high and low bone stiffness groups. The high bone stiffness group had higher health awareness, better lifestyle habits, and higher club activity-related stress than the low bone stiffness group.
conclusionsLifestyle factors and health awareness improved bone density in adolescent girls. Items related to exercise were particularly important for improving bone density. Eating habits and health awareness also affected bone density. Adolescent women should recognize that adolescence is a critical period for lifelong health, a period with few opportunities to develop health awareness. Acquiring appropriate lifestyle habits during adolescence can help prevent bone density loss.
