Densitometric study of developing vertebral bodies.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
To define the quantitative aspects of ossification of human fetal spine, we performed a high resolution densitometric study by lateral and postero-anterior scanning of five fetal spines (18-36 weeks of conceptual age) and one spine of a 4-month-old infant. The data were plotted against developmental age for each spine and vertebra. Bone mineral content increased with developmental age, with a peak at the upper lumbar level, in agreement with the ossification pattern of the spine, reported in embryological literature. Bone mineral density (BMD) was unrelated to developmental age, and showed similar trends for each vertebra in all the vertebral columns examined. The changes of BMD seems to be a phenomenon related to individual variability. This study also demonstrates that densitometric techniques may provide useful and interesting information in studies on skeletal development.
