The reference value of trabecular bone score (TBS) in the Iranian population.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundTrabecular bone score (TBS), as a tool for measurement of bone microarchitecture, represents fracture risk independently of bone density. The aim of this study was to estimate the reference values of TBS in both genders among the Iranian population to evaluate osteoporotic fractures in the future.
methodsThe study was performed on healthy Iranian subjects who live in urban areas of Bushehr city, the capital of Bushehr province in southwestern Iran. The participants in this study were selected through a multistage, age and sex stratified, cluster random sampling. The TBS of L1-L4 was assessed by spine DXA images using TBS iNsight software (Discovery WI, Hologic Inc, USA). Age-related models of TBS were constructed using piecewise linear regression analysis.
resultsIn total, 691 participants aged ≥ 18 years (381 men and 310 women) were selected for the study. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of TBS value for men was 1.420 ± 0.094 and the age at the peak TBS was 30.0 years. Among women, the corresponding value for the mean of TBS was 1.428 ± 0.070 and the age at the peak TBS was 24.5 years. Two SDs below the mean of TBS were 1.326 in men and 1.357 in women. Therefore, the following normal range for TBS values has been proposed: Among men, TBS ≥ 1.326 is considered to be normal; TBS between 1.231 and 1.326 is considered to be partially degraded microarchitecture; and TBS ≤ 1.231defined degraded microarchitecture. Among women, TBS categories are defined as normal ≥ 1.357, partially degraded between 1.287 and 1.357 and degraded ≤ 1.287.
conclusionsThis was the first study to propose evaluation of the normal range for TBS values in both genders in the Middle- East and Iran. According to our results: TBS ≤ 1.231 in men and TBS ≤ 1.287 in women is considered to be degraded microarchitecture among the Iranian population.
