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
unlabelledThe present study investigated the bone health related factors that were associated with the use of bisphosphonates (BP) among 2,050 postmenopausal Finnish women. Low BMD + low trauma energy fracture was the strongest determinant of BP use, while other secondary causes of osteoporosis were less strongly related with BP use. BP use was associated with reduced femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS) bone loss rate.
introductionThe aim was to identify bone health related factors associated with the use of BP in a community setting.
methodsA population-based sample of 2,050 Finnish postmenopausal women was measured with dual X-ray absorptiometry at the FN and LS in 1989, 1994, 1999 and 2004, and information on osteoporosis risk factors, including low-trauma energy fractures, were collected with postal inquiries. Self-reported use of BP in 2004 was considered as the end point variable.
resultsAmong BP users, 12% had T-score > -2.0 SD and no fracture during follow-up (FU). In women without any bone medication, 26% had T-score < -2.0 SD or low-trauma energy fracture or both during the FU. In BP users, a significant reduction in FN and LS bone loss rate, cumulative with duration of use, was observed in ANCOVA (p < 0.001). Among BP users, there was a significantly higher proportion of women with several independent risk factors for osteoporosis and more spine and humerus fractures but less ankle fractures. T-score < -2 SD combined with low-trauma energy fracture was significantly related to the use of BPs (p < 0.001, OR = 15.96) and T-score < -2 SD was a stronger predictor of BP use (p < 0.001, OR = 13.29) than fracture (p > 0.05, OR = 1.35) in multivariate logistic regression. Other factors related with BP use were vitamin D use (p = 0.001, OR = 2.27), high number of medications (p < 0.001, OR = 1.26) and rheumatoid arthritis (p < 0.05, OR 2.55).
conclusionsThese findings reveal the recent bone health-related indications for BP prescription.
