High-risk patients' readiness to undergo BMD testing for osteoporosis diagnosis in Pennsylvania.
Trial report in International quarterly of community health education. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The objective of this study was to better understand high-risk patients' readiness to engage in bone mineral density (BMD) testing to diagnose osteoporosis. Six hundred thirty-six participants in a randomized control trial for patients at high-risk for osteoporosis were surveyed. BMD screening readiness was measured by a three-item summative index. Multivariable linear regression examined the relationship between patients' scores on the index and constructs of osteoporosis and BMD testing knowledge, concern for developing osteoporosis and self-efficacy to engage in fall prevention behaviors. Participants had a mean age of 79 years, 96% were female and 80% were white. Greater concern for developing osteoporosis and better knowledge about BMD testing were significant predictors of a higher score on the index. Improving high-risk patients' knowledge about osteoporosis and the importance of BMD testing may enhance patients' readiness to undergo BMD testing. We found several correlates of readiness to undergo BMD screening that may be used to design effective interventions.
