1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundOsteoporosis, as a metabolic disease, has become one of the most rapidly growing complications of diabetes mellitus. Previously, we conducted a systematic review to report the estimated prevalence of osteoporosis among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from 2001 to 2016. However, some newer studies have been reported, and more potential risk factors for osteoporosis remain controversial and vague. Therefore, the presented review is tailored to synthesize available evidence regarding the pooled prevalence and related risk factors of osteoporosis among T2DM patients in mainland China.

methodsBoth cross-sectional study and cohort study reporting on the prevalence of osteoporosis among patients with T2DM in mainland China, published in Chinese or English, will be considered for inclusion. Records from 4 English databases and 2 Chinese databases will be retrieved from their inceptions to March 2020. The process of study selection, data extraction, and methodologic quality assessment will be independently executed by 2 reviewers. The pooled prevalence of osteoporosis and the prevalence in the exposed and unexposed groups for each potential risk factor will be calculated by the software Stata version 12.0.

resultsThe current systematic review and meta-analysis will provide more precise prevalence rates and associated risk factors of osteoporosis among people with T2DM in mainland China.

conclusionThe study will offer high-quality and explicit evidence for assisting diabetic patients to prevent osteoporosis in mainland China. OSF REGISTRATION: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/5ZKJ6.
