Review in Bone reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Despite the fact that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most prescribed medications, several epidemiological studies have reported many adverse effects related to their long-term usage. Nevertheless, there were inconsistent findings in the literature with regard to PPI use and bone mineral density (BMD) change. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the association between the use of PPIs and change in BMD. The PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane and CINAHL databases were searched up to March 2019. Ten studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria (4761 cases and 30,809 controls), from which the mean difference and mean annualized percent change in BMD were pooled using RevMan 5.3.5 The results showed no statistically significant association between PPI users and non-users in mean annualized percent change in BMD (0.06; 95% CI -0.07, 0.18) with moderate heterogeneity (I
