Cortical Bone Mapping: Measurement and Statistical Analysis of Localised Skeletal Changes.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
purpose of reviewCortical bone mapping (CBM) is a technique for measuring localised skeletal changes from computed tomography (CT) images. It can provide measurements with accuracy surpassing the underlying imaging resolution. CBM can detect changes in several properties of the cortex, with no prior assumptions about the likely location of said changes. This paper summarises the theory behind CBM, discusses its strengths and limitations, and reviews some studies in which it has been applied. RECENT
findingsCBM has revealed associations between fracture risk and cortical properties in specific regions of the proximal femur which present feasible therapeutic targets. Analyses of several pharmaceutical and exercise interventions quantify effects that are distinct both in location and in the nature of the micro-architectural changes. CBM has illuminated age-related changes in the proximal femur and has recently been applied to other bones, as well as to the assessment of cartilage. The CBM processing pipeline is designed primarily for large cohort studies. Its main impact thus far has not been in the realm of clinical practice, but rather to improve our fundamental understanding of localised bone structure and changes.
