1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Despite the beneficial effects of "vegetarian style" diet on atherosclerosis, it is also proven potentially detrimental to bone health. The influence of muscle health or atherosclerosis on major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) risk in vegetarians has rarely been explored. This prospective study aimed to investigate an association of MOF risk with muscle health and atherosclerosis in vegetarians. Materials and Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey with the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) on 39 vegetarians. The 10-year probability of MOF was determined using the Taiwanese Fracture Risk Assessment (FRAX Results: Eleven (28.2%) of 39 vegetarians had a moderate-high risk of MOF, defined by FRAX-calculated risk ≥10%. These subjects had lower ASM ( Conclusion: Decreased ASM mass, reduced physical performance, and atherosclerosis are significantly associated with MOF risk in vegetarians.
