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

The perimenopausal phase represents a critical window for early intervention against accelerated bone loss, highlighting an urgent need for safe and accessible non-pharmacological strategies. Although mind-body exercises are widely recommended for healthy aging, their specific structural and metabolic impacts on the perimenopausal skeleton yield conflicting results and remain poorly understood. To address this gap, this systematic review and three-level meta-analysis evaluated the effects of mind-body modalities on bone health in perimenopausal women, utilizing this model to account for statistical dependencies among multiple effect sizes within individual studies. Quantitative synthesis suggested that mind-body exercise may offer modest structural benefits, indicated by positive effects on bone mineral density (SMD = 0.55,
