Differences in prevalence and associated factors between mild and severe vertebral fractures in Japanese men and women: the third survey of the ROAD study.
Trial report in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Vertebral fracture (VF) is a common osteoporotic fracture, while its epidemiology varies according to regions and ethnicities, little is known about it in Japan. Using whole-spine radiographs from a population-based cohort study, the Research on Osteoarthritis/Osteoporosis Against Disability study 3rd survey performed in 2012-2013, we estimated the sex- and age-specific prevalence of VF in the Japanese. Genant's semiquantitative method (SQ) was used to define VF; SQ ≥ 1 as VF, SQ = 1 as mild VF, SQ≥ 2 as severe VF. We also revealed accurate site-specific prevalence, and associated factors with mild and severe VF. The participants were 506 men [mean age 66.3 years, standard deviation (SD):13.0] and 1038 women (mean age 65.3 years, SD: 12.6). The prevalence of VF in participants aged under 40, in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and ≥ 80 years was 17.4, 7.9, 18.5, 25.6, 26.3, and 41.5%, respectively, in men, and 2.9%, 2.4%, 7,3, 10.3, 27.1, and 53.0%, respectively, in women. Men had a significantly higher prevalence of mild VF (21.2%) than women (10.0%, p < 0.001); whereas, severe VF was significantly more prevalent in women (9.1%) than in men (4.7%, p = 0.003). VF was distributed with 2 peaks regarding site; one large peak at the thoracolumbar region, and another at the middle thoracic lesion. Low back pain and decreased walking ability were independently associated with severe VF, but not with mild VF, after adjustment for participant characteristics. Decreased walking ability was associated with multiple VFs in women, but not in men.
