Association between rheumatoid arthritics and osteoporosis among Chinese men, a community based study.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 main purpose of this study was to estimate the associations between rheumatoid arthritics (RA) and osteoporosis (OP) in general Chinese men.
methodsWe conducted a large-scale, community-based, cross-sectional study to investigate the associations by using self-report questionnaire to access medical history. A total of 1041 men were recruited sis in this study. Multiple regression models controlling for confounding factors to include RA were performed to investigate the relationships for OP.
resultsUnivariate analysis indicated there was no significant association between RA and T-score (P = 0.103), however, significant association between RA and OP was reported (P = 0.005). Multiple regression analysis indicated that RA was significantly associated with OP (P = 0.013, OR = 3.191 95% CI: 1.284-7.932). The men with RA had a significant higher prevalence of OP.
conclusionThe findings indicated that RA was independently and significantly associated with OP. The prevalence of OP was less frequent in Chinese men without RA.
