Associations between bone mineral density, trabecular bone score, and body mass index in postmenopausal females.
Article in Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, 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
objectivesBone mineral density (BMD), as a gold standard determinant of osteoporosis, assesses only one of many characteristics contributing to the bone. Trabecular bone score (TBS) is applied to evaluate the microarchitecture of trabecular bone
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 1054 postmenopausal women were randomly recruited from the Department of Radiology, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Demographic characteristics and medical history of all subjects were collected from documents. TBS measurements for L1-L4 vertebrae were retrospectively performed by the TBS iNsight software using the dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) from the same region of spine of the subjects. The analysis was done to detect the correlation between TBS and BMI.
resultsA statistically significant negative correlation was found between TBS and BMI in patients with osteoporosis and low bone mass. In patients with normal T-scores, BMI was not significantly correlated to TBS (P > 0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant positive association between T-score and BMI.
conclusionsAlthough a higher BMI had a protective effect against osteoporosis, higher BMI was associated with a lower TBS in patients with an abnormal T-score. However, BMI did not have a significant effect on TBS in patients with normal T-scores.
