Pelvic Organ Prolapse Is Associated with Osteoporosis in Korean Women: Analysis of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service National Patient Sample.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesPelvic organ prolapse (POP) and osteoporosis are major disease entities in older women that have the same epidemiology and might also have the same molecular physiology. However, few data have been reported on the relationship between POP and osteoporosis. We designed this study to examine the association between POP and osteoporosis in Korean women. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service 2015 to 2017 National Patient Sample (HIRA-NPS). A total of 4,368,141 individuals were included in this study, and a total of 842,228 individuals aged 50 years and above were included in the final analysis. POP patients were defined by the Korean Informative Classification of Diseases (KOICD) codes (KCD-7, N81, or N99.3) and patients who underwent a pelvic reconstructive procedure. The osteoporosis patients were defined by KOICD (KCD-7, R4113, R3620, R0402,) who were prescribed osteoporosis medication. A 1:10 age-stratified matching and chi-squared test were used for statistical analysis, and
resultsA total of 7359 women were included in this analysis. Advanced POP was correlated with osteoporosis in Korean women aged 50 years and above in 2015-2017 (
conclusionsAdvanced POP is correlated with osteoporosis in Korean women aged 50 years and above. Evaluation for osteoporosis and education about bone health can be especially important, even in relatively young women, aged 50-59 years, and POP patients.
