Effects of drugs on bone metabolism in a cohort of individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Study Design: This study is a retrospective review examining the prevalence of drugs commonly used in the management of spinal cord injury (SCI) which may influence bone health. Objective: The aim of our study was to examine the role commonly prescribed medications play in post-SCI bone health. Setting: We included all males 21 years of age and older who were evaluated over a 10-year period at an SCI-specialized center for a trauma-induced SCI. Method: We compared characteristics of individuals with normal bone mass to those with low bone mass according to their dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Medication lists were reviewed for the presence of drugs considered to either positively or negatively affect bone metabolism. Results: Comparing individuals with normal bone mass ( Conclusions: Although 76% of our cohort was found to have low bone mass, the only major risk factors were "Time after Injury" and "Level of Injury". Anticonvulsant use was more common in individuals with low bone mass compared to those with normal bone mass. Given the retrospective methodology of this work, our findings underline associations that warrant further investigation.
