Positive association between standing height and bone mineral density in adolescents aged 12-19: NHANES 2011-2018 : Author.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundReports indicate that height significantly impacts bone health, which is a crucial factor in bone mineral density (BMD). The focus of this research was to examine the connection between standing height and total BMD among adolescents aged between 12 and 19.
methodsThe independent link between standing and total BMD, as well as its nonlinearity, was investigated using data from the 2011-2018 NHANES. Weighted multiple linear regression and smooth curve fitting were employed for this purpose. Additional subgroup analyses were performed, and interactions were tested.
resultsA link between standing height and total BMD in adolescents between 12 and 19 was shown to be significant and positive in multiple linear regression studies on a total of 6,963 individuals (β = 0.0066; 95% CI: 0.0064,0.0068; p < 0.0001). Analysis of nonlinear data demonstrated a positive association between standing height and total BMD, which was found to remain significant after correction for all variables. Moreover, additional sub-group analysis revealed that factors such as gender and age had a substantial impact on the relationship between standing height and overall BMD.
conclusionOur analysis demonstrated a significant positive association between standing height and total BMD in adolescents aged 12 to 19.
