Bone mineral density in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A case-control study from South India.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2026. 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
Introduction: Bone mineral density (BMD) is affected in diabetes, and we studied the changes in BMD in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and matched controls. We also assessed the impact of diabetes duration on BMD using the Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Methods: In this single-centre, case-control study, we included 30 children and adolescents aged between 6 and 18 years with a T1DM duration of more than 6 months and a similar number of age, sex, and puberty-matched healthy controls. All the participants underwent a detailed clinical and biochemical evaluation and the BMD was assessed by DXA. The results were analysed by appropriate statistical methods. Results: The study population (14 M: 16F) had a mean (SD) age of 11.9 (3.8) years, T1DM duration of 2.7 (2) years and HbA1c of 11.2 (2.7) percent. The BMD (gm/cm Conclusion: Our study did not find a significant difference in BMD between children with T1DM and matched controls. However, it showed the importance of physical activity and screen time for bone health in children, irrespective of diabetes.
