Correlation of Osteoporosis and Calcium Urolithiasis in Adult Population.
Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionScientific studies indicate that there is a correlation between decreased bone mineral density and the age of the patient, especially in post menopausal women. GOAL: The aim of our study was to assess the connection between osteoporosis and the age of respondents, based on the DEXA findings in patients with calcium urolithiasis. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study was prospectively and conducted in University Clinical Center Banja Luka, at the Urology Clinic and Clinic of Internal Medicine. In this study the respondents were divided into two groups: experimental group-subjects with calcium urolithiasis and control group without calcium urolithiasis. The study included 240 patients, in both groups of 120 patients who were divided into three age groups: 20-40 years, 40-60 years and more than 60 years. In both groups of respondents was conducted determination of bone mineral density in L2-L4 vertebra lumbar spine and hip by DEXA method.
resultsObserving the whole sample of the experimental group, according to age groups it can be noticed that DEXA results are at 72.5% normal, 27.5% below expected value, more in women within older subgroups, 20% show signs of osteopenia and osteoporosis in 7.5 %. Share of patients with osteoporosis is statistically different (p<0.05) only between sub-groups 20-40 years and over 60 years. Although appears absolute difference in the participation of patients with osteopenia by age groups, the differences are not statistically significant (p>0.05). The share of patients with normal DEXA values was significantly lower in the group over 60 years compared to the other two age groups (p<0.05). At age subgroups of the control group, the youngest group of respondents share with normal DEXA finding is 95% and among the oldest group (over 60 years) this share is much lower and is 60%, which represents a statistically significant difference, and confirms the relationship (p<0.01). Normal DEXA findings decreases with increasing years, the share of those who do not have normal findings is higher in the elderly population.
conclusionOur study has just shown that in adult patients with calcium urolithiasis osteoporosis is more prevalent in older patients and more pronounced in patients with calcium urolithiasis in relation to the population without the same.
