1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is one of the primary markers of bone health. Exercise provides constant mechanical stress to bone, which in turn increases BMD. Gut-bone axis is considered to play an important role in the regulation of exercise on bone. Also, the metabolites of gut microbiota (GM), especially short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are thought to be involved in the progress. In this study, by analyzing serum and GM from humans with low and high BMD, we found that exercise indeed enhanced BMD, and butyrate secreted from GM was involved in the regulation.
