Association between Wrist Circumference and Risk of Any Fracture in Adults: Findings from 15 Years of Follow-Up in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We evaluated whether wrist circumference (WrC), as a novel anthropometric measure, is associated with incidences of any fractures. The study population included 8288 adults (45.3% men) aged ≥30 years, who were followed for incidences of any fractures from 31 January 1999 to 16 March 2016. We used Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for well-known risk factors to evaluate the association of WrC, both as continuous and categorical variables (bottom tertile as reference), with incidences of any fractures and major osteoporotic fractures (MOF). Over 15 years of follow-ups, 348 fractures occurred (men = 162). For a 1 cm increase in WrC, hazard ratios (HRs) were 1.18 (95% CI: 1.03-1.35) for incident any fractures and 1.22 (1.01-1.49) for incident MOF. In addition to WrC, age, female sex, lower BMI, higher WC, current smoking, and usage of steroidal medications were significantly associated with the incidences of any fractures. Moreover, participants in the middle and top tertiles of WrC had a higher risk of incidence for any fractures [HR = 1.62 (1.19-2.20) and 1.70 (1.14-2.55), respectively,
