Quantitative computed tomography and opportunistic bone density screening by dual use of computed tomography scans.
Review in Journal of orthopaedic translation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 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
Central dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine and proximal femur is the preferred method for bone mineral density (BMD) testing. Despite the fracture risk statistics, osteoporosis testing with DXA remains underused. However, BMD can also be assessed with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) that may be available when access to DXA is restricted. For patients undergoing a primary CT study of the abdomen or pelvis, a potential opportunity exists for concurrent BMD screening by QCT without the need for any additional imaging, radiation exposure, or patient time.
