Exercise and reproductive factors as predictors of bone density among osteoporotic women in Mexico City.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
We examined the association between physical activity and reproductive factors with bone density among 313 Mexican women, aged 26-83 years. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured with a HOLOGIC QRD 1000 w, DXA densitometer at the lumbar spine and femoral region. We explored the relation between BMD and parity, age, body mass index (BMI), type of menopause, and level of exercise. Multiple regression models examining determinants of bone density at the lumbar and femoral regions showed that increasing age and lack of exercise were statistically significant predictors of bone demineralization. The number of pregnancies also had a deletereous effect on bone density, especially for lumbar spine, as well as BMI <20 kg/m2. Our results suggest that physical activity, parity, and BMI are important determinants of bone density in this population.
