Association between Bone Metabolism and Vestibular Problems in the Modified Romberg Test: Data from the 2009-2010 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Osteoporosis contributes to the occurrence of falling and vestibular problems, particularly in elderly patients. This study aimed to investigate the association between bone metabolism with vestibular problems and falling. A total of 4054 participants of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2009 to 2010 aged ≥50 years old were surveyed on their history of falling, vestibular problems evaluated by the modified Romberg test, variables involving bone metabolism, and serum levels of vitamin D and alkaline phosphatase. They also underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The crude (simple) and adjusted odd ratios (ORs) of variables involving bone metabolism for vestibular problems in the modified Romberg test and falling were analyzed using a logistic regression model. A subgroup analysis was performed according to sex and the presence of menopause in females. Vestibular problems in the modified Romberg test group but not the falling group were associated with decreased serum vitamin D levels (
