1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We compared bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) in postmenopausal women with a distal radius fracture older than 50 years with controls. Total hip BMD was significantly different, but TBS was not different between two groups, suggesting TBS does not reflect microarchitectural changes of the distal radius.

introductionThe purpose of this study was to determine whether trabecular bone score (TBS) has additive value for discriminating distal radius fracture (DRF) independent of BMD.

methodsWe compared BMD and TBS in 258 postmenopausal women with a DRF older than 50 years of age with age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls who had no history of osteoporotic fracture. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and hip using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scans (GE Lunar Prodigy). TBS was calculated on the same spine image. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the odds ratio (OR) for the occurrence of DRF using age, BMI, lumbar spine BMD, total hip BMD, and TBS.

resultsPatients with a DRF had significantly lower BMDs at hip (neck, trochanter and total) than those of controls: 0.752 ± 0.097, 0.622 ± 0.089, and 0.801 ± 0.099 in patients and 0.779 ± 0.092, 0.648 ± 0.089, 0.826 ± 0.101 in controls. However, lumbar spine BMD and TBS were not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.400 and 0.864, respectively). The multivariate analysis indicated that only total hip BMD was significantly associated with the occurrence of DRF (OR, 10.231; 95 % confidence interval, 1.724-60.702; p = 0.010).

conclusionsTBS was not different between women with a DRF and those without a history of osteoporotic fracture, suggesting that TBS measured at the lumbar spine does not reflect early microarchitectural changes of the distal radius. Only total hip BMD is associated with the risk of DRF in Korean women.
