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

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a crucial indicator of osteoporosis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) introduces a new method for assessing body composition, specifically BMD measurement. Compared with existing ultrasound and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for BMD screening and diagnosis, BIA has the advantages of safety, convenience and speed. However, the accuracy of BIA for BMD measurement needs to be explored. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the novel BIA technique in conducting whole-body BMD assessments in the general population of Taiwan. Overall, 318 healthy adults in Taiwan (37.67 ± 19.44 years of age; 145 male and 173 female patients) were included. Whole-body BMD was measured via foot-to-foot BIA-StarBIA-201 (StarBIA Meditek Co. LTD, Taichung, Taiwan) and the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) Lunar Prodigy technology (GE Medical Systems, Madison, WI, USA). Linear regression analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient, the Bland-Altman plot, and paired t tests were used. The whole-body BMDs measured by BIA and DXA were 1.139 ± 0.124 g/cm
