Management of Vertebral Fragility Fracture in Older People: Recommendations from a Spanish Consensus of Experts.
Article in Geriatrics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Vertebral fragility fractures (VFF) pose a challenge for appropriate care. The aim of this study was to develop consensus recommendations for the management of VFF in older people from a multidisciplinary approach. Specialists in osteoporosis belonging to different scientific societies reviewed the main clinical practice guidelines published in Spain in 2014. Thirty-five recommendations for the management of VFF were evaluated by seven experts using an anonymous survey. Consensus was defined as 80% of responses of 8 (agree) and 9 (strongly agree) on a Likert scale. Consensus was achieved in 22 recommendations (62.8%). The experts agreed on the need for anamnesis, clinical assessment, and laboratory tests, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate, proteinography, and the assessment of levels of calcium, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Optional tests, such as bone turnover markers (BTMs), magnetic resonance imaging, bone scintigraphy, or using a fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX
