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

introductionThe purpose of this retrospective study was to clarify the incidence of non-traumatic vertebral fracture among outpatient women with osteoporosis and to determine whether the stand-up test predicted the occurrence of non-traumatic vertebral fracture. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 242 postmenopausal women over 60 years of age who received outpatient osteoporosis treatment at our hospital between November 2013 and July 2020 were longitudinally evaluated in this study. We obtained medical information and radiographic parameters, including sagittal vertical axis, thoracic kyphosis, pelvic incidence, lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, and sacral slope at baseline. Additionally, we measured physical parameters, including height, weight, body mass index, lumbar bone mineral density, visual analog scale score for pain, and the stand-up test.

resultsVertebral fractures occurred in 20 of 242 participants (8.3%), and accounted for 48.8% the 41 total fractures in the study group. Among vertebral fractures, eight (40.0%) were traumatic, resulting from falls, and 12 (60.0%) were non-traumatic. Cox multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, body mass index, lumbar bone mineral density, and the time to non-traumatic vertebral fracture showed that the sagittal vertical axis (HR = 1.013, 95% CI 1.001-1.026), stand-up test score (HR = 3.977, 95% CI 1.156-13.683), and presence of difficulty with standing from a 20-cm-high seat using both legs (HR = 3.329, 95% CI 1.625-6.82) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of non-traumatic vertebral fracture.

conclusionThe stand-up test may be useful as a simple screening tool for non-traumatic vertebral fracture in patients with osteoporosis.
