Site-Specific Differences in Bone Mineral Density of Proximal Femur Correlate with the Type of Hip Fracture.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The aim of this study was to investigate whether site-specific differences in bone mineral density (BMD) of proximal femur correlate with the type of hip fracture using quantitative computed tomography. Femoral neck (FN) fractures were classified as nondisplaced or displaced subtypes. Intertrochanteric (IT) fractures were classified as A1, A2, or A3. The severe hip fractures were identified as displaced FN fractures or unstable IT fractures (A2 and A3). In total, 404 FN fractures (89 nondisplaced and 317 displaced) and 189 IT fractures (76 A1, 90 A2, and 23 A3) were enrolled. Areal BMD (aBMD) and volumetric BMD (vBMD) were measured in the regions of total hip (TH), trochanter (TR), FN, and IT of the contralateral unfractured femur. IT fractures exhibited lower BMD than FN fractures (all
