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

Objective: To analyze the relationship between the Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone metabolism indexes in Chinese adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study used stratified cluster sampling to select 1,206 adolescents (12-18 years) from six schools in Yinchuan (2017-2023). Body composition and BMC of the participants were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Serum bone metabolism indexes [osteocalcin (OC) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX)] were measured. Results: METS-VF was found to be associated with BMC ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest a non-linear association between METS-VF and BMC in adolescents, and fat distribution and content were more closely related to bone metabolism.
