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
objectiveTo verify whether mandibular cortical analyses accurately distinguish postmenopausal women with normal bone mineral density (BMD) from women with osteoporosis by means of a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-driven composite osteoporosis index (three-dimensional mandibular osteoporosis index-3D MOI). MATERIAL AND
methodsThe comparison was performed between 52 women with normal BMD and 51 women with osteoporosis according to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) examination of the lumbar spine and hip. Mandibular cortical width (MCW) and cortical quality were evaluated on cross-sectional and panoramic reconstructed images. ANOVA, ROC curves and accuracy measurements were used for statistical analyses, as well as a predictive model combining the quantitative and qualitative analyses and age.
resultsAll CBCT-driven measurements presented good to moderate intra- and interobserver agreements. MCW values were significantly lower in women with osteoporosis. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were 8 times more likely to have the cortex classified as C3, and 2.4 times more likely to have MCW thinner than 2.75 mm. The area under the ROC curve was 0.8 for the predictive model.
conclusionsThe newly developed 3D MOI enables distinguishing women with osteoporosis from those with normal BMD with good sensitivity and specificity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Whenever a CBCT scan is performed for specific clinical indications, a 3D MOI may be performed to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the condition of the mandibular cortex. This may be surely helpful to assess the osteoporosis status in the ageing population and more specifically in peri- or postmenopausal women.
