Bone mineral density in Indian women with rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Osteoporosis (OP) is being increasingly recognized in inflammatory rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Ethnicity influences bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. Due to paucity of data on this aspect of RA from Asian countries including India, we prospectively studied 84 premenopausal women with RA of at least 2 years duration and 247 healthy, age (within 5 years) and sex-matched controls. A significant difference in BMD between patients and controls was observed only at the femoral neck. As many as 22% patients with RA exhibited osteoporosis at least one site in contrast to 9% controls. Nearly 40% of patients exhibited osteopenia at all the three sites. Modified Sharp score, disease duration and DMARD naive period were found to correlate with low BMD. However, on multivariate analysis, only modified Sharp score was shown to be significantly associated with low BMD. Our study draws attention to the poor bone health in Asian Indian women with RA.
