Impact of exercise modalities on bone health: a meta-analysis of aerobic, resistance, and combined training on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.

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
The prevalence of osteoporosis, particularly among the elderly population and postmenopausal women (PMW), remains a significant public health concern. Women aged 50 to 60 years are especially vulnerable to osteoporosis-related bone loss, emphasizing the need for preventative measures and early intervention. PURPOSE: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of aerobic, resistance, and combined training on bone mineral density (BMD) in PMW aged 50 to 60 years.
methodsA systematic search of six databases (Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus) was conducted. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024569040). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool. A random-effects model was used to calculate mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsForty studies with 2,230 participants were included. All exercise modalities significantly improved BMD at the lumbar spine (MD = 0.02 g/cm
conclusionRegular exercise, particularly combined aerobic and resistance training, is an effective non-pharmacological strategy to mitigate bone loss and promote skeletal health in PMW.
