Prevalence of osteoporosis among patients after stem cell transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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 prevalence of osteoporosis in post stem cell transplantation (SCT) is poorly defined. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with hematologic diseases who underwent SCT. PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched (from inception to 30th April 2023) using Medical Subject Headlines to find studies that assessed the prevalence of osteoporosis among post SCT. Thirteen articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. The pooled prevalence rates of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and decreased bone mineral density (BMD) were determined to be 14.2% (95% CI 9.7-18.8), 36.0% (95% CI 23.8-48.2), and 47.8% (95% CI 36.6-58.9), respectively. Substantial heterogeneity was observed among the included studies (I² values ranged from 81% to 99%). Subgroup analyses revealed variations in prevalence based on gender, follow-up duration, age, region, sample size, and study quality. These findings suggest a high prevalence of osteoporosis in post-SCT patients. Given the negative impact of osteoporosis on prognosis and recipient survival, clinicians should prioritize preventive measures, early diagnosis, and effective treatments to minimize its impact.
