Association between visceral fat and bone mineral density in perimenopausal women.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: The effects of visceral fat and body fat on osteoporosis (OP) have long been controversial. This study investigated the correlation between visceral fat and bone mineral density (BMD) in perimenopausal women aged 40-60. The goal was to evaluate the current state of BMD and its influencing factors, with the specific objective of establishing a foundation for preventing and treating osteoporosis in this demographic. Methods: This case-control study included female participants ( Results: Among perimenopausal women with varying bone mineral density statuses, there was no significant difference regarding body fat percentage ( Conclusions: Among perimenopausal women, visceral fat is negatively associated with bone density, suggesting that the distribution of body fat rather than the total amount plays a pivotal role in the development of osteoporosis. These findings suggest the significance of regular physical exercise and the abdominal fat distribution for perimenopausal women.
