Vitamin D and bone mineral density.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and the neck of femur and serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase, calcium, albumin, creatinine and phosphate were measured in a group of 166 postmenopausal women (30-79 years) attending a bone clinic for bone density measurements. Four subjects with suspected primary hyperparathyroidism were excluded from analysis. BMD at the lumbar spine was correlated with body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.278, p = 0.0003), age (r = -0.194, p = 0.0134) and serum 25OHD (r = 0.188, p = 0.0167). BMD at the neck of femur correlated with BMI (r = 0.391, p < 0.0001), age (r = -0.356, p < 0.0001), PTH (r = -0.156, p = 0.047) and serum 25OHD (r = 0.231, p = 0.0031). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that age, BMI and serum 25OHD contributed to the variation in BMD at lumbar spine. At the neck of femur, PTH was an additional contributor. We conclude that serum 25OHD makes a contribution to BMD a lumbar spine and neck of femur.
