Effects of resistance training, Yijinjing and Baduanjin exercise with oral caltrate D on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in older women: a randomised controlled trial.

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
backgroundThe literature lacks studies comparing the effects of traditional Chinese exercises, Qigong Yijinjing (YJJ) and Baduanjin (BDJ), with resistance training (RT) on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism in older adults.
objectiveThis study investigated the effects of regular RT, YJJ, and BDJ exercises training, combined with oral Caltrate D supplementation, on lumbar spine and proximal femur BMD and serum bone metabolism indices in older women.
methodsEighty-four older women were randomly divided into the RT group (RG, n = 21), YJJ group (YG, n = 22), BDJ group (BG, n = 21) and control group (CG, n = 20). These groups performed the assigned exercises for 24 weeks (3 times/week, 60 min/time). The BMD of the lumbar L
resultsAt week 24, compared to the CG, the RG, YG, and BG had significantly higher BMD and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) levels in the lumbar L
conclusionsRT, YJJ and BDJ combined with Caltrate D for 24 weeks can increase lumbar BMD, increase the bone formation marker PINP and decrease the bone resorption marker β-CTX in older women but had no significant effect on the BMD of the proximal femur. YJJ and BDJ had the same effect on improving BMD in the older adults as RT with the same exercise cycle and frequency.
