Skeletal muscle mechanics in osteoporotic and nonosteoporotic postmenopausal women.
Article in European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology, 1994. 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
The purpose of this study was to evaluate single-joint, dynamic muscle function of osteoporotic (OST) and nonosteoporotic (N-OST) women. Knee flexor and extensor function in postmenopausal women (6th decade OST, n = 15; 7th decade OST, n = 10; 6th decade N-OST, n = 6; 7th decade N-OST, n = 5) were evaluated at five angular velocities from 60 degrees.s-1 to 300 degrees.s-1. All subject groups had similar anthropometric measurements, but the 6th decade N-OST group were more physically active than the age-matched OST group. The OST and N-OST women produced peak torque at similar knee angles. The 6th decade N-OST women produced significantly greater knee extensor mean peak torque and angle specific torque, and mean work than any of the other three groups (P < 0.05). However, knee flexor function was equivalent throughout the groups for most comparisons, except those between the 6th decade N-OST and 7th decade OST. While previous research has shown an early loss of flexor muscle function in aging women, our data indicated that women with osteoporosis also experience a deterioration in quadriceps muscle function not encountered within the N-OST subjects. It is possible that such a change is precipitated by reduced physical activity, and may mirror deterioration in bone mineral content.
