Do Bone Mineral Density, Trabecular Bone Score, and Hip Structural Analysis Differ in Indian Men with Parkinson's Disease? A Case-Control Pilot Study from a Tertiary Center in Southern India.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition that is characterized by bradykinesia, rigidity, and gait instability. Inherent to this condition is an increased predisposition to falls and fractures. Bone health in Parkinson's disease in India has not been studied thus far. This study aimed to assess the bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), and hip structural analysis (HSA) in Indian men with PD and compare them with matched controls. Methodology: A case-control study done at a tertiary care center from southern India. Bone biochemistry, BMD, TBS, and HSA were assessed. Results: Among 40 cases and 40 age, gender, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls, there was no significant difference in BMD between both groups. The mean (SD) TBS at the lumbar spine [1.349 (0.090)] was significantly ( Conclusion: A comprehensive bone health assessment comprising BMD, TBS, and HSA may be required to capture all aspects of bone strength in Indian men with PD as BMD assessment as a stand-alone tool may not suffice to obtain all information pertaining to fracture risk in these individuals.
