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 evaluated the state of osteopenia and the physical function in 121 schizophrenic patients. These factors were worse in the inpatient group than in the outpatient group. The age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and physical function were correlated to the state of osteopenia. Physicians should consider the risk of osteopenia in elderly female psychiatric patients with low BMI. PURPOSE: Information about the actual state of osteopenia in patients with schizophrenia is limited. In the present study, we evaluated the factors related to osteopenia and patient's physical function and compared these factors between inpatients and outpatients.

methodsA total of 121 schizophrenic patients were included in the present study. We divided the patients into two groups according to the therapeutic form. We collected data on their age, sex, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine and proximal femur, serum bone metabolic markers, risk of fracture, and physical function.

resultsThe number of fractured vertebrae, risk of fracture, serum concentration of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b), and score of locomo25 were significantly higher and the BMI and BMD in the lumbar spine and proximal femur significantly lower in the inpatient group than in the outpatient group. A multiple regression analysis showed that the age, sex, BMI, the number of fractured vertebrae, and score of locomo 25 were correlated with the BMD in the lumbar spine and proximal femur. Neither the therapeutic form nor any bone metabolic markers were correlated with the BMD. The inpatient group had a lower average BMI, BMD, and physical function than the outpatient group. However, a multiple regression analysis showed that the therapeutic form was not correlated with the BMD.

conclusionThese findings suggest that physicians should consider elderly female schizophrenic patients with a low BMI to be at risk of developing osteopenia.
