1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 demonstrates how complex bone microarchitectural features can be summarized to describe bone adaptations seen with aging in women, which are consistent with the stages of osteoporosis. Additionally, we showed familial resemblance in these bone microarchitectural traits between mothers and daughters that can be used to predict bone adaptations.

introductionPatient-specific characterization of bone quality can reduce complex microarchitectural features to common combinations of bone characteristics, known as bone phenotypes. This study investigated whether there is a general trend in bone phenotype change over time seen with aging in females and whether there is a familial resemblance to phenotype membership between mothers and daughters.

methodsBone phenotype membership was calculated on biological mother and daughter pairs (Participants = 101), scanned using high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, to the three pre-defined phenotypes (healthy, low volume, and low density). The trajectory of bone phenotype with age was explored using all participant's data. Linear regression models were used to assess the familial resemblance of phenotyping in the mother-daughter pairs.

resultsWhen stratified for age, the trajectory of the phenotype membership transitioned from healthy (20-40 years), to low volume (40-60 years), to low density (60-80 years), which similarly aligns with the stages of osteoporosis observed in females. Familial resemblance (½h

conclusionOur results suggest that phenotype membership in females changes with age in a pattern that is consistent with the stages of osteoporosis. Additionally, we showed familial resemblance in bone phenotype, which can be used to predict bone adaptations between mothers and daughters that are associated with bone loss with aging.
