Loss of bone mineral density following sepsis using Hounsfield units by computed tomography.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
aimTo examine the change in vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) using abdominal computed tomography in patients treated for sepsis.
methodsA single-center, retrospective, observational study was undertaken to evaluate BMD after critical care at Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital (Okayama, Japan) from January 2016 to April 2018. Sepsis was defined as an absolute increase of ≥2 in Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score in the intensive care unit or high care unit. Bone mineral density was evaluated in Hounsfield units (HU) by computed tomography. Patients were divided into groups based on the presence or absence of osteoporosis, which was defined as average vertebral body HU <110. Paired
resultsFifty-two of 188 patients met the inclusion criteria. We found significant differences between admission and follow-up vertebral BMD values in the spine at the thoracic 12, lumbar 1-5, and sacrum 1 levels (
conclusionWe found that sepsis was associated with loss in BMD following critical care.
