Genes and osteoporosis.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Genes play an important role in the development of osteoporosis. Twin and family studies have consistently shown that peak bone mass, ultrasound properties of bone, skeletal geometry, bone turnover, and fracture are heritable. Yet, as we report in this paper, few candidate genes have been implicated without ambiguity. Osteoporosis is thought to be a polygenic disorder, determined by multiple genes and environmental risk factors, each with small to modest effect on bone mass and fracture. Here we argue that future success in finding genes is only possible with improved study design and the use of more rigorous analytic approaches that are now becoming available.
