Relationship between Femoral Proximal Bone Quality Assessment by MRI IDEAL-IQ Sequence and Body Mass Index in Elderly Men.

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
backgroundBone assessment using the MRI DEAL-IQ sequence may have the potential to serve as a substitute for evaluating bone strength by quantifying the bone marrow hematopoietic region (R2*) and marrow adiposity (proton density fat fraction: PDFF). Higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased bone mineral density (BMD) in the proximal femur; however, the relationship between BMI and R2* or PDFF remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the correlation between BMI and MRI IDEAL-IQ based R2* or PDFF of the proximal femur.
methodsA retrospective single-cohort study was conducted on 217 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer between September 2019 and December 2022 who underwent MRI. The correlation between BMI and R2* or PDFF of the proximal femur was analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test.
resultsAmong 217 patients (median age, 74 years; median BMI, 23.8 kg/m
conclusionIn elderly men, the increased loading on the proximal femur due to elevated BMI was observed to promote a decrease in bone marrow adiposity in the proximal femur, causing a tendency for a transition from fatty marrow to red marrow with hematopoietic activity. These results indicate that the MRI IDEAL-IQ sequence may be valuable for assessing bone quality deterioration in the proximal femur.
