A novel quantitative method for estimating bone mineral density using B-mode ultrasound and radiofrequency signals-a pilot study on patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether an innovative quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technique, Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectromety, which combines B-mode ultrasound and radiofrequency signals, is reliable in typical Romanian patients compared to previous results obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The study prospectively included previously unscreened post-menopausal females with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and age-matched healthy controls. Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were performed with an EchoS machine (Echolight
