Cross sectional analysis of bone mineral density and diet balance index in preschool children in Bengbu, Anhui, China.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study examined the relationship between the Diet Balance Index (DBI) and bone mineral density (BMD) in preschool children, along with other influencing factors. DBI was calculated using the adjusted Chinese Diet Balance Index for preschoolers (DBI_C), incorporating High Bound Score (HBS), Low Bound Score (LBS), and Diet Quality Distance (DQD). BMD was assessed using Z-scores and categorized into insufficient BMD (IB) (BMD Z-score > 0) and normal BMD (NB) (BMD Z-score ≤ 0). A logistic regression model analyzed the link between DBI quartiles and BMD, while binary logistic regression identified other factors influencing BMD. The study involved 1,277 children (1,231 NB, 46 IB) aged 3-6 years. BMD levels varied significantly based on factors such as age, mother's working status, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, HBS, salt score, and drinking water score. Results indicated that children with higher HBS in the second quartile had a significantly higher risk of BMD insufficiency. Chest circumference and drinking water score were identified as significant factors affecting BMD. This study underscores the importance of a balanced diet and regular BMD monitoring for promoting healthy bone development in preschool children.
