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
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease with a high prevalence that affects the population worldwide, particularly the elderly. It is often due to fractures associated with bone fragility that the diagnosis of osteoporosis becomes clinically evident. However, early diagnosis would be necessary to initiate therapy and to prevent occurrence of further fractures, thus reducing morbidity and mortality. X-ray-based imaging plays a key role for fracture risk assessment and monitoring of osteoporosis. Whereas over decades dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been the main method used and still reflects the reference standard, another modality reemerges with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) because of its three-dimensional advantages and the opportunistic exploitation of routine CT scans. Against this background, this article intends to review and evaluate recent advances in the field of X-ray-based quantitative imaging of osteoporosis at the spine. First, standard DXA with the recent addition of trabecular bone score (TBS) is presented. Secondly, standard QCT, dual-energy BMD quantification, and opportunistic BMD screening in non-dedicated CT exams are discussed. Lastly, finite element analysis and microstructural parameter analysis are reviewed.
