The applicability of trabecular bone score for osteoporosis diagnosis in ankylosing spondylitis.

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
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients have a high risk of osteoporotic fractures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of trabecular bone score (TBS) in assessing fracture risk in patients with AS. 67 patients meeting the ASAS classification criteria were enrolled in the study. Fracture risk for each patient was assessed based on a lumbar spine exam encompassing bone mineral density (BMD), and TBS through a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) exam. In addition, each patient had an X-ray taken of their lumbar and thoracic spine to determine the presence of syndesmophytes and bony bridges, as well as spinous process and vertebral body fractures. Moreover, each patient's medical history was analyzed for other osteoporotic fractures. A major osteoporosis fracture (MOF) was found in 11 (16%) patients in total, of which 7 (10%) were vertebral body fractures. The mean TBS in patients with MOF and no MOF were, respectively, 1.12 and 1.29 (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in BMD scores between the two groups. Syndesmophytes and bony bridges occurred more frequently in patients with MOF (p = 0.02). Age of 50 or more (RR = 9.86, p = 0.002), TBS score ≤ 1.31 (RR = 2.07, p < 0.0001), and presence of syndesmophytes and bony bridges (RR = 2.14, p = 0.04) were considered a relative risk (RR) increasing factors. TBS is a markedly more sensitive method of identifying patients with a high fracture risk compared to BMD measurement in a DXA exam in patients with AS.
