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
backgroundWhilst traumatology around elderly population becomes more and more popular nowadays, the knowledge of local bone quality prior to osteosynthesis is of paramount importance. Assessment of the local bone mechanical properties provides essential information related to implant stability and can support treatment strategies in a timely manner. In the acute setting, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative computer tomography cannot be used routinely, and up till now no known intraoperative methods have been established.
methodsA novel technique was developed to determine the local bone strength. A feasibility and sensitivity analysis were performed on synthetic cancellous bone models of various densities [including osteoporotic ranges (0.12 - 0.48g/cm
resultsThe Intraoperative Osseomechanical Strength Measurement (IOSM) method revealed high sensitivity for the evaluation of local density on synthetic bone material. Among the indenter designs tested, the one with 40° sharp apex and 5 mm diameter reflected accurately the density changes of the synthetic bones. It was also associated with less invasiveness posing no risk for the primary implant stability of the osteosynthesis that may follow.
conclusionThe IOSM method using the indicated indenter design on synthetic cancellous models appears to be a minimal invasive technique with high accuracy in identifying different bone densities . Further studies on human bone material are now focused on the evaluation of the IOSM sensitivity compared to the gold standards (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative computer tomography).
