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

Pregnancy is associated with physiological adaptations in calcium metabolism and skeletal homeostasis that may result in temporary reductions in bone mineral density (BMD). However, routine skeletal assessment during pregnancy remains limited because dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) involves ionizing radiation. This study aimed to compare bilateral femoral neck BMD and Z-scores in pregnant and non-pregnant women using Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry (REMS), a radiation-free ultrasound-based technology, and to assess correlation between bilateral measurements. In this cross-sectional study, 100 women were enrolled, including 40 pregnant women and 60 non-pregnant women with comparable age and body mass index (BMI)
