Osteoporosis among household women: A growing but neglected phenomenon.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundOsteoporosis is associated with variable morbidity and socio-economic burden and referred as a "silent epidemic" with increasing risk among Indian women. The present study was conducted to find prevalence of osteoporosis.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Ranchi city with household women as participants. Data was collected by means of pre-tested structured questionnaire in Hindi language and bone status was screened utilizing calcaneal quantitative ultrasound as a diagnostic tool to estimate bone mineral density from 223 participants and statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 37.9 (5.63) and majority (52.5%) of them were vegetarian. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 8.5% (5.2-13%) while 45.7% (39-52.5%) had osteopenia. We found no significant association of osteoporosis and osteopenia with income, physical activity, and dietary patterns on univariate analysis. There was no statistical significant difference between mean age and BMI of participant among normal, osteoporosis, and osteopenia participant (
conclusionThis study shows that significant number of women had osteopenia/osteoporosis within 35-40 years age group. Intensive information, education, and communication activities with regard to osteoporosis causative factors and preventive measures targeted to household women may play an important role, if started at young age.
