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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of valid risk assessment models developed for osteoporosis/ fracture screening to identify women in need of bone density measurement in a population of Iranian elderly women. Methods: This study was performed using the data of Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program, a population-based cohort study of elderly population aged ≥ 60 years. Seven osteoporosis risk assessment tools, including Osteoporosis Risk Assessment Instrument (ORAI), Malaysian Osteoporosis Screening Tool (MOST), Osteoporosis Prescreening Risk Assessment (OPERA), Osteoporosis Prescreening Model for Iranian Postmenopausal women (OPMIP), Osteoporosis Index of Risk (OSIRIS), and Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA), as well as Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) were included in the study. By using osteoporosis definition based on BMD results, the performance measurement criteria of diagnostic tests such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and Youden index for each model were calculated and the models were compared. Results: A total of 1237 female participants with the mean age of 69.1 ± 6.3 years were included. Overall, 733 (59%) participants had osteoporosis, and about 80% had no history of fracture. The sensitivity of the seven models ranged from 16.7% (OSIRIS) to 100% (ORAI and MOST) at their recommended cut-off points. Moreover,their specificity ranged from 0.0% (ORAI and MOST) to 78.9% (OSTA). The FRAX and OPERA had the optimal performance with the Youden index of 0.237 and 0.226, respectively. Moreover, after combining these models, the sensitivity of them increased to 85.4%. Conclusion: We found that the FRAX (model with 11 simple variables) and OPERA (model with 5 simple variables) had the best performance. By combining the models, the performance of each was improved. Further studies are needed to adopt the model and to find the best cut-off point in the Iranian postmenopausal women.
