Femoral bone mineral density reference values by sex and ethnicity: Findings from the Qatar Biobank study.
Article in Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, 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
Objectives: Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a major global health concern due to fracture-related morbidity and mortality. BMD is currently assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) against a US reference population. The aim of the study was to establish an ethnicity- and sex-specific reference for calculating BMD at different femoral sites including femoral trochanter, Ward's triangle and femoral neck in Qatar. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed BMD in 4727 (2277 females and 2450 males) healthy Qatari aged between 20 and 82 years participating in the Qatar Biobank (QBB) study. Standard T-scores provided by the densitometer (T Results: Males consistently exhibited higher BMD values for the femoral trochanter, Ward's triangle, and the femoral neck across all age groups compared with females. Using T Conclusions: These findings underscore the need for local ethnicity- and sex-specific BMD reference values. The use of T
