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

backgroundTo measure volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) in the proximal femur of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with hip involvement and analyze their correlations with radiographic and clinical parameters.

methodsSixty-five AS inpatients were enrolled in this study. The bone mineral density was measured by QCT and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), respectively. The morphological parameters of the proximal femur were measured on digital anteroposterior (AP) radiographs of the pelvis. The correlations between them were analyzed by SPSS software.

resultsThe average trabecular vBMD measured at the femoral neck was 136.38 ± 25.58 mg/cm

conclusionsThe low trabecular bone density at the site of the hip was associated with the duration of disease progression and degree of hip involvement. Meanwhile, it had a correlation with hip function status although we failed to confirm a significant relationship between hip vBMD and disease activity.
