Relationships among Physical Activity Bone Mineral Density and Body Composition in Obese and Athletes.
Article in Journal of bone metabolism, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 is a significant global public health issue, increasingly affecting younger individuals and placing substantial economic burdens on society. Risk factors vary, with non-modifiable ones like age and ethnicity, as well as modifiable factors including corticosteroid use, caffeine intake, and reduced exercise. This study examines the relationship between bone density, body components, and physical activity (PA) in enhancing bone health, particularly in obese athletes.
methodsThe 66 participants aged 18 to 30 were classified into two groups: 34 obese and 32 athletes. Measured parameters included body composition through bioelectrical impedance analysis, and bone mineral density (BMD) via quantitative ultrasound, while PA was assessed using the International PA Questionnaire.
resultsOur findings revealed a significant positive correlation between BMD and PA (r=0.284, P=0.023). Additionally, PA demonstrated strong negative correlations with body mass index (BMI), fat mass, and visceral fat (r=-0.738, r=-0.733, and r=-0.704 respectively, all P<0.001). In contrast, no significant correlation was observed between PA and lean mass (r=0.065, P=0.609). BMD was negatively associated with BMI and visceral fat, while a robust correlation between basal metabolic rate and lean mass was evident.
conclusionsA study comparing athletes involved in high-impact sports indicated that these athletes maintained adequate BMD for their chronological age (Z-score≥-2.0). Moreover, a significant difference in BMD was observed when comparing the athletes to the obese group(P=0.018).
