Prevalence and associated factors of low bone mineral density in young adults with spinal cord injury.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and its associated factors in young adults (18-50 years) with spinal cord injury (SCI), using real-world clinical data.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 63 hospitalized SCI patients (21 women, 42 men) between January 2021 and December 2023. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry DXA at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip, and classified as normal or low (Z-score ≤ -2.0). Demographics, body mass index (BMI), spasticity, ambulation (FAC), biochemical parameters, and fracture history were compared between groups.
resultsLow bone mass was detected in 38.1% of participants. BMD reduction was most pronounced at the femoral neck (0.6 ± 0.18 vs. 0.9 ± 0.15 g/cm
conclusionLow BMD is common in young adults with SCI, particularly in the femoral region, and is associated with lower BMI. The paradoxical finding of fractures in patients with normal BMD suggests that fracture risk is multifactorial and extends beyond densitometric parameters alone. These findings underscore the need for femur-focused DXA protocols and individualized risk-based management strategies.
