Trabecular bone score in the hip: a new method to examine hip bone microarchitecture-a feasibility study.
Trial report in Archives of osteoporosis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Our study found, in older adults who are residents of long-term care facilities, assessing hip microarchitecture with DXA-derived bone texture score may serve as a supplement to bone mineral density to improve fracture prediction and to facilitate decision-making for pharmacological management. PURPOSE: Many patients with high fragility fracture risk do not have a sufficiently low bone mineral density (BMD) to become eligible for osteoporosis treatment. They often have deteriorated bone microarchitecture despite a normal or only mildly abnormal BMD. We sought to examine the beta version of the trabecular bone score (TBS) algorithm for the hip: TBS Hip, an indirect index of bone microarchitecture, and assess if TBS Hip brings complementary information to other bone quality indices such as BMD and bone turnover markers (BTMs) to further improve identifying individuals who are at high risk for fractures.
methodsIn this analysis, we considered baseline TBS Hip at total hip, femoral neck, and greater trochanter, TBS at lumbar spine, BMD at all of these skeletal sites, and BTMs in 132 postmenopausal women who were residents of long-term care (LTC) facilities enrolled in a randomized placebo-controlled osteoporosis clinical trial.
resultsOn average, participants were 85.2 years old and had a BMI of 26.9 kg/m
conclusionAmong older women residing in LTC facilities, there was a moderate correlation between measures of BMD and TBS Hip at total hip, femoral neck, and greater trochanter, suggesting TBS Hip may provide complementary information to BMD .
