Updated reference values for BMD and lean mass measured by DXA in Thai children.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 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
introductionThis study established normative references for total body less head (TBLH) BMD, lumbar spine (L1-L4) BMD, and both total and appendicular lean mass (LM) in Thai children and adolescents (aged 5-18 years) using DXA. This work expands upon 2014 normative data for Thai children, which included L2-L4 BMD, total body BMD (head included), and total LM. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reanalyzed total body and lumbar spine DXA scans (Lunar Prodigy Pro, GE Healthcare; enCORE version 7.53) from 174 boys and 193 girls, using upgraded software (enCORE version 17SP2) for TBLH BMD, L1-L4 BMD, and LM analysis. The "enhanced" mode was applied for TBLH BMD and LM. Adjustments for total and appendicular LM were made relative to squared height (m
resultsNormative data stratified by sex and Tanner stage were generated for TBLH BMD, L1-L4 BMD, and LM indices. Weight and Tanner stage significantly determined BMD and LM. Adolescent girls exhibited higher LSBMD values due to earlier pubertal onset. Boys showed higher LM indices with more rapid gains during growth spurts.
conclusionThis study provides updated normative reference values for BMD (TBLH and L1-L4) and LM (total and appendicular) in Thai children and adolescents, measured via DXA. These references will enhance the assessment of low bone mass and LM deficits in Thai pediatric populations, particularly in those with chronic illnesses.
