The Multifactorial Relationship Between Bone Tissue Water and Stiffness at the Proximal Femur.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 mechanical function is determined by multiple factors, some of which are still being elucidated. Here, we present a multivariate analysis of the role of bone tissue composition in the proximal femur stiffness of cadaver bones (n = 12, age 44-93). Stiffness was assessed by testing under loading conditions simulating a sideways fall onto the hip. Compositional properties of cortical and trabecular tissues were quantified in femoral neck cross sections by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. In addition, cross-sectional areas and cortical thickness and tissue mineral density (TMD) were measured at the femoral neck. Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant (p < 0.05) negative relationship between bone stiffness and cortical and trabecular water content, both total (r = -0.63) and tightly bound to matrix and mineral (r = -55). Additionally, significant (p < 0.05) positive correlations were found between stiffness and bone area, both total (r = 0.67) and trabecular (r = 0.58). However, linear regression using each of these properties to predict bone stiffness resulted in weak models (R
