Bone mineral density and coronary atherosclerosis.
Article in Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2011. 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
backgroundThe association between low bone mineral density (BMD) and atherosclerosis is still unknown. In this study BMD assessed in patients with and without coronary artery atherosclerosis is determined by angiography.
methodsA total number of 123 consecutive patients referred for coronary angiography were evaluated by dual X-ray absorptiometry. Obstructive CAD was diagnosed when ⩾50% of lumen was narrowed. Conventional atherosclerosis risk factors were also assessed.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 59 ± 8 years. There was frequency of 48.7% male. The prevalence of diabetes was 31.2%, hypertension 57%, dyslipoproteinaemia 51%, vitamin D deficiency 50% and history of smoking 80.8%. Coronary angiography was normal in 15 patients (12.6%) while 67 patients (55.5%) had obstructive CAD. DXA scan showed 25 patients (21%) with normal BMD, 39 patients (32.7%) with osteopenia, and 55 others (46.2%) with osteoporosis. Lower BMD results were significantly associated with older age and lower BMI but it was not associated significantly with diabetes, hypertension, lipids levels or smoking. Moreover the prevalence of obstructive CAD and minimal CAD differed between groups with normal and low bone density but this was not significant (p = 0.67 and 0.52, respectively). The mean T score comparison between patients with and without CAD was also not different.
conclusionsIn patients with and without obstructive CAD the prevalence of low BMD results are not different.
