The Assessment of the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians and Calcaneal Quantitative Ultrasound in Identifying Osteoporotic Fractures and Falls Among Chinese People.

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
The lack of DXA has made the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis extremely difficult in the vast rural areas of China, which has the largest population with high risks of osteoporosis. The aims of this cross-sectional study were to evaluate the association between the osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians (OSTA) and calcaneus quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in populations residing in Shanghai, China, and their assessment in predicting osteoporotic fractures and falls. A population of 12,033 participants, including 1272 males (average age 68.3 ± 9.8 years, range 28-100 years) and 10,761 females (average 56.8 ± 11.4 years, range 23-99 years), was gathered. OSTA and calcaneus QUS (Sonost 2000, OsteoSys) values were measured. Spearman's correlation and Cohen's kappa were used to determine the association and agreement between the OSTA and QUS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were adapted to assess the performance and optimal cutoff values for the OSTA and QUS in osteoporotic fracture and fall screening. In total, the prevalence of osteoporotic fractures (low-trauma fractures including fractures of the spine, hip, forearm, humerus and ribs) was 15.2% in women, and 17.7% reported a history of falls (falling from standing height more than once in the past year). The percentages of men with the same history were 8.4% and 11.7%, respectively. The association between the OSTA and QUS was found to be
