Relationship between Two Panoramic Radiography Indices and Bone Mineral Density of Postmenopausal Women with Osteopenia and Osteoporosis.
Article in Journal of dentistry (Shiraz, Iran), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
statement of the problemReduced bone mineral density (BMD) generally affects postmenopausal women and it is classified into moderate (osteopenia) and significant osteoporosis. Based on digital panoramic radiographs (DPRs), several quantitative and qualitative assessment methods have been proposed for the diagnosis and evaluation of bone changes and as a predictor of BMD. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare mandibular cortical width (MCW) and mandibular cortical index (MCI) derived from DPRs in evaluating the BMD in osteopenic and osteoporotic post-menopausal women. MATERIALS AND
methodIn this cross-sectional study, the BMD assessment was performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Then, patients were divided into two groups: osteopenia and osteoporosis based on WHO criteria. Two types of T-scores including TT (trabecular) for lumbar spine, TC (cortical) for femoral neck and finally, MCW and MCI were measured based on DPRs.
resultsFifty females with the average age of 57.64±6.03 years were entered into the study. MCW significantly correlated with BMD (
conclusionThe results showed that MCW is an appropriate index of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Although the prediction of osteoporosis is poorer at the femoral neck than lumbar spine, MCW can serve as a screening tool for osteoporosis in this area.
