Fig. 6: Spaceflight-induced changes to bone mineral composition in rats.
From: Bone strength and composition in spacefaring rodents: systematic review and meta-analysis
Forest plot of changes in bone calcium (left), phosphorus (middle), and hydroxyproline (right) content of spaceflight animals (SF) compared to ground control (GC). Missions are ordered by mission year (old to recent). Mission name, duration (Days), SF and GC sample sizes (nSF/nGC) are shown. Circle/line: effect size (%) and 95% CI, the size of the circle is proportional to the mission’s weight. Orange diamonds: overall effect size and 95% CI for rats. *indicates missions where there was no GC, and SF was compared to VC.
