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

purposeHigh-impact loading, such as jump exercise, is effective to increase bone mass and strength. However, the effect of high-impact loading on regional bone adaptation has not been investigated in detail. This study investigated the differential effects of jump training on tibial and femoral morphology under different training conditions.

methodsNine-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to two training groups (n = 12 /group) and a control group (n = 8). The training groups included a group that performed five 10-jumps with two-hour intervals between bouts (J10 × 5) or that performed a 50-jump at once (J50 × 1). The jump training comprised 3 days/week for 8 weeks at a jump height of 40 cm. After the intervention period, micro-computed tomography was used to assess the bone morphology at the left tibia and femur. Three-point bending test was used to measure the cortical bone strength at the right tibia and femur.

resultsIn both training groups, trabecular number was significantly increased in the proximal tibia, whereas no increase was observed in the distal femur. Trabecular thickness in the proximal tibia and distal femur was significantly increased compared to the control group. The effects on bone strength and morphological parameters were similar in the J10 × 5 and J50 × 1 groups.

conclusionThe results suggest that 8 weeks of jump training results in site-specific adaptations in cancellous bone morphology in the tibia and femur. However, no effect on bone adaptations was observed by dividing the training into multiple sets.
