Cross-sectional study of muscle strength and bone mineral density in a population of 106 women between the ages of 44 and 87 years: relationship with age and menopause.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
This study examined the correlations between isokinetic muscle strength of knee and elbow flexors and extensors with vertebral and femoral bone mineral density in a population of 106 women between the ages of 44 and 87 years. The absolute value of muscle strength correlated significantly with bone mineral density; muscle strength of the upper limb appeared to be more closely correlated with bone mass, while muscle strength in the lower limb was more specific for femoral mineral bone density. The most important finding that these results demonstrated was a concomitant decline in muscle strength of the upper limb and bone mineral density between the 5th and 6th decades. In contrast, they also showed a decline in muscle strength of the lower limbs after the 6th decade, occurring before the decline in bone mineral density observed between the 7th and 8th decades. From these results it would appear that other studies are required to examine the relationship between the essentially hormonal role in postmenopausal decline in muscle strength and the decline in physical activity during the senile period. These elements are important because they must be taken into account in physical exercise programmes designed to prevent osteoporosis.
