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 aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire assessing the nutrition knowledge (NK) of Italian adult women regarding the relationship between diet, lifestyle and bone health.

designA thirty-item questionnaire in Italian was developed by experts based on a literature review. Participants completed the questionnaire twice, with a 2-4 week gap between the two administrations. During the initial administration, weight and height were recorded using a mechanical scale and a stadiometer, while bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (L1-L4), femoral neck and total femur were assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

settingCentre for Metabolic Bone Diseases at the Parma University Hospital, from January 2022 to June 2024.

participantsWomen aged 45-75 years old, native Italian speakers, undergoing DXA at the Centre participated.

resultsThe sample included 295 women with a median age of 63 years (interquartile range 11·5). The questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0·698) and high temporal stability (R = 0·810,

conclusionsThe NutriBone questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating NK related to bone health in Italian adult women undergoing DXA, with potential for future research applications.
