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

introductionMuscle functions are dependent on age, weight, and height. The question of how the muscle-bone unit is adapted for tall stature (TS) is yet to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate muscle functions and markers of bone strength in children and adolescents with TS.

methodsA total of 98 children and adolescents participated in the study and were divided into two groups: the TS group included 63 non-trained participants (mean age 13.4 ± 3.2 years, height Z-score 3.0 ± 0.7); the basketball players (BPs) group included 35 actively training BPs (mean age 16.8 ± 1.9 years, height Z-score 2.7 ± 0.4). Dynamic muscle functions - relative muscle power (P

resultsZ-scores of P

conclusionDynamic muscle functions relative to body mass are decreased in healthy untrained individuals with TS, unlike trained individuals with TS. Reduced mechanical stimulation may contribute to decreased cortical BMD and thickness at the tibia in this group.
