Bone Density and Fractures in HIV-infected Postmenopausal Women: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in The Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care : JANAC. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
With the development of effective antiretroviral therapy, HIV-infected women are living longer and transitioning through menopause. The purpose of our study was to systematically examine the evidence that menopause is an additional risk predictor for osteoporosis and fractures in HIV-infected women. Electronic databases were searched for studies of low bone density or fractures in HIV-infected postmenopausal women. Studies that met the inclusion criteria (n = 10) were appraised using a validated quality assessment tool. The majority of studies were rated as good quality and the remaining were fair. The prevalence of osteoporosis reported in these studies ranged from 7.3% to 84% and 0.7% to 23% in HIV-infected and uninfected postmenopausal women, respectively. In the two qualifying studies, postmenopausal status was not a predictor of fractures in HIV-infected women. Findings suggest that HIV care providers should accurately assess postmenopausal status and modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis in all older HIV-infected women.
