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

purposeTo examine the association between birth characteristics and bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in young adults.

methodsData from 3,174 participants aged 20-54 years from the 3rd (2006-2008) and 4th (2017-2019) HUNT Study surveys were linked to the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. BMD and BMC of femoral neck were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Linear regression estimated mean differences in BMD and BMC by birth characteristics, adjusting for sex, birth year, age at scan, maternal age, and maternal morbidity.

resultsAt bone densitometry, participants had a mean age of 34.2 years, with mean BMD of 0.971 g/cm

conclusionHigher ponderal index, birth weight, and gestational age were positively associated with BMD and BMC in young adulthood.
