Vertebral Imaging in the Diagnosis of Osteoporosis: a Clinician's Perspective.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
purpose of reviewVertebral fractures are the most common osteoporotic fracture and result in functional decline and excess mortality. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis to identify patients at risk for fragility fractures; however, advances in imaging have expanded the role of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating bone health. RECENT
findingsThe utility of CT and MRI in the assessment of bone density is starting to gain traction, particularly when used opportunistically. DXA, conventional radiography, CT, and MRI can all be used to assess for vertebral fractures, and MRI can determine the acuity of fractures. Finally, advances in imaging allow for non-invasive assessment of measures of bone quality, including microarchitecture, bone strength, and bone turnover, to help identify and treat at-risk patients prior to sustaining a vertebral fracture. CT and MRI techniques remain primarily research tools to assess metabolic bone dysfunction, while use of DXA can be clinically expanded beyond measurement of bone density to assess for vertebral fractures and bone architecture to improve fracture risk assessment and guide treatment.
