High Alcohol Intake in Older Men and the Probability of Osteoporotic Fracture According to the FRAX Algorithm.
Article in Nutrients, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We aimed to determine the contribution of high alcohol intake to fracture probability, calculated using a fracture-risk assessment tool (FRAX). Participants were 262 men (ages 60-90 y) in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Alcohol consumption was documented via a food frequency questionnaire; 46 (17.6%) consumed three or more units per day, fulfilling the criterion for high alcohol intake. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. We determined FRAX probabilities (%) for major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF), calculated with and without alcohol intake. Thresholds for high FRAX probabilities, calculated with or without BMD, were ≥20% for MOF and ≥3% for HF. Proportions of men with high HF-FRAX probabilities were consistently greater for drinkers compared with non-drinkers. For drinkers, paired differences showed that median MOF-FRAX
