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

Running is mechanistically purported to be deleterious for bone health, yet few studies have examined this relationship with robust radiological outcomes. We examined the relationship between running and bone health. Males (n = 81) aged 36-79 years who reported running for 1-60 years at an average of 2.4-152.9 km/week on 1-6 days were included in this cross-sectional study. Outcomes were bone mineral density (lumbar spine, total hip, femoral neck) via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Predictors were historic (questionnaire) and current (actigraphy) physical activity. Mutually adjusted associations were examined via stepwise multiple linear regression. For bone mineral density (g/cm
