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

Background: Endurance athletes are at greater risk of compromised bone health due to elevated nutritional demands and high-volume training. Optimal nutritional intake is fundamental to support athlete bone health, and dietary protein is an essential nutrient for the maintenance of bone and muscle tissue. Studies of associations between dietary protein intake and advanced imaging-based measures of bone and muscle health in endurance athletes are limited. Objectives: To examine the relationships between dietary protein intake and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), estimated bone strength (SSI Methods: Fifty healthy young endurance-trained adults completed one-time measures. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) scans assessed tibial trabecular and cortical vBMD, BSI, SSI Results: Bivariate analyses found no correlations between total dietary protein intake and pQCT-derived bone and muscle measures. However, protein intake from animal products was correlated with SSI Conclusions: Our findings suggest that there are no relationships between total dietary protein intake and pQCT measures in endurance-trained individuals. However, positive relationships were found with protein intake from animal products and tibial SSI
