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

backgroundTo examine associations of B-vitamin intake, B-vitamin-rich dietary patterns, and the B-Vitamin Deficiency Index (BVDI) with bone mineral density (BMD) in children. DESIGN/

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 1026 Chinese children aged 9-12 years. Dietary intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire. B-vitamin-rich dietary patterns were derived using reduced-rank regression, and cumulative B-vitamin inadequacy was assessed using BVDI based on Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes. Forearm BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used.

resultsHigher quartiles of vitamin B

conclusionsHigher intakes of vitamins B IMPACT: Reduced-rank regression identified a B-vitamin-rich dietary pattern characterized by higher intakes of beans, dairy products, meats, grains, eggs, vegetables, and aquatic products; greater adherence to this pattern showed an inverse but borderline association with low bone mineral density (BMD). Higher intakes of vitamins B
