The prevalence of osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis patient: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Osteoporosis (OP) is one of the most commonly known extra-articular complications of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Since the prevalence of OP is diverse in different studies and there is no general consensus about it, in this systematic review, we aimed to investigate the global prevalence of OP among RA patients. In this review, three databases including Medline via PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (Clarivate analytics) were searched by various keywords. After screening of retrieved papers, the related data of included papers were extracted and analyzed. To assess the risk of methodological bias of included studies, quality assessment checklist for prevalence studies was used. Because of heterogeneity among studies, random-effect model was used to pooled the results of primary studies. In this review, the results of 57 studies were summarized and the total included sample size was 227,812 cases of RA with 64,290 cases of OP. The summary point prevalence of OP among RA was estimated as 27.6% (95%CI 23.9-31.3%). Despite significant advances in prevention, treatment and diagnostic methods in these patients, it still seems that the prevalence of OP in these patients is high and requires better and more timely interventions.
