Bone Health in Ajman: A Cross-Sectional Study of Bone Mineral Density Among Adults.

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
Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) is a quantitative measurement of the amount of inorganic minerals which are present in a particular volume of bone. Variations in BMD are dependent on a variety of factors including age, sex, race, family history, age at menarche and menopause, and the presence of any other health conditions. This study aims to determine the association between categories of BMD among individuals referred to the department of radiodiagnosis for dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan and associated clinico-epidemiological factors. Methods: A record-based cross-sectional study was used to collect the data of 335 individuals who presented to the department of radiodiagnosis at Thumbay University Hospital, Ajman, UAE., for DEXA scan from 2015 to 2022. SPSS Version 28 was used for analysis. Inferential statistics like chi-square was performed to establish the association between variables, and a Results: Among 335 individuals, 64.8% were females and 35.2% were males. Majority of the participants belonged to the 40-59 age group at 54.3%, were of African origin at 53.7%, and were classified as overweight/obese at 86.3%. The left hip Conclusion: Our study, aimed at determining the association between different categories of BMD and clinicoepidemiological factors of the participants, found that increasing age, underweight/normal weight category, being male, and belonging to the African region were significantly associated with the combination
