Relationship of lumbar vertebral volumetric bone mineral density with trunk muscle density assessed by quantitative computed tomography in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Article in Renal failure, 2025. 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
backgroundSarcopenia due to abnormal muscle metabolism and osteoporosis due to abnormal bone metabolism are common complications in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and trunk muscle density, as assessed by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) in MHD patients.
methodsA total of 108 patients were included. Patients were categorized into a nonosteopenia (
resultsPatients in the osteopenia group were older (65.03 ± 10.05 vs. 53.16 ± 13.52 years,
conclusionsWe found that the greater the trunk muscle density is, the greater is the vBMD of the lumbar spine in MHD patients. This may indicate that trunk muscle density serves as a protective factor against osteopenia in this population.
