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

objectiveThis study investigated associations between physical activity (PA) during late adolescence and emerging adulthood and bone strength in emerging adulthood by utilizing advanced finite element analysis of computed tomography (CT/FEA) technology beyond the traditional dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method.

methodsThis study included 266 participants (152 females) from the Iowa Bone Development Study. PA volume (average acceleration) and intensity (intensity gradient) metrics were calculated from ActiGraph accelerometer data collected at ages 17, 19, 21, and 23 years. Compressive modulus and compressive stiffness of the tibia were estimated at age 23 via CT/FEA of the tibia. Sex-specific linear regression models were used to evaluate associations between PA metrics and bone outcomes, adjusting for age, height, weight, musculoskeletal fitness, and calcium intake.

resultsIntensity gradient averaged over 17-23 years of age was positively associated with compressive stiffness at age 23 years in both females and males (

conclusionsUsing a state-of-the-art CT/FEA method, this study suggests that high-intensity PA during late adolescence and emerging adulthood improves bone strength.
