Osteoporosis Among Bahraini Women Based on Bone Mineral Density Measurements: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives The objective is to estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis among women in Bahrain who are aged ≥18 years. Methods In this retrospective study conducted at Salmaniya Medical Complex, a total of 590 Bahraini women were enrolled. Their bone mineral density measurements were obtained through dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) performed between January 2017 and December 2017. Six sites were chosen as the measurement targets. Patients were diagnosed with osteoporosis if their T-score was > -2.5 according to the World Health Organization guidelines. Results Osteoporosis was diagnosed in 27.1% of the patients; 53.2% had osteopenia, 0.3% had severe osteoporosis, and 19.3% had normal bone conditions. The prevalence of osteopenia as well as osteoporosis increased with age. Conclusion Osteoporosis and osteopenia are common among Bahraini women. This study provides useful information on the prevalence of osteoporosis among Bahraini women. Major steps by health authorities in the country are needed to reduce morbidity and improve the quality of life.
