[Age and osteoporosis. Effects of aging on osteoporosis, the diagnostics and therapy].
Review in Der Internist, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundOsteoporosis is an age-associated disease, which is influenced by genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors.
aimThis article examines the evidence for specific aspects in osteoporosis diagnosis and management in higher age groups. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study was based on extraction of data from literature databases and from the guidelines of the "Dachverband Osteologie" (DVO, Governing Body for Osteology).
resultsAge is a high risk factor for osteoporosis. Vitamin D insufficiency and reduced calcium absorption are common in the elderly. Loss of bone and muscle develop in a vicious circle of immobilization caused by underlying diseases. In addition deficits in cognition and coordination promote falls and fragility fractures. Clinical risk assessment including geriatric test batteries is recommended in all women > 70 and men > 80 years of age. Specific medication is indicated if the 10-year fracture risk exceeds 30 %, where in women > 75 and in men > 85 years of age bone density measurement can be relinquished. There is good evidence for the efficacy of antiosteoporotic medication even for the elderly. Prevention of falls requires multimodal management to enhance muscle power and coordination. It is essential to improve underlying cardiovascular, pulmonary and neurological diseases while critically evaluating the necessity of medication that boosts the risk of falls and fractures. There is good evidence for age and disease-adapted exercise programs such as Tai-Chi. Treating osteoporosis reduces the fracture risk, improves the quality of life, maintains independence and decreases mortality.
conclusionTreating osteoporosis in the elderly is strongly recommended. Multimodal management and medication according to guidelines can be very successful, given that interdisciplinary and geriatric concepts consider the specific needs of the elderly population.
