Prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Morocco: 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
introductionThis systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted as part of the update of Moroccan recommendations for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Its aim was to estimate the prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Morocco, based on available bibliographic data.
methodsWe conducted a systematic search of the Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases to identify articles published between January 2000 and January 2024. We included all observational studies reporting the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in Morocco. Two reviewers independently contributed to the study selection and data extraction. We assessed the risk of bias in the included studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata with the Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I
resultsAn electronic search found a total of 161 citations from the databases. After excluding the irrelevant articles, 17 eligible studies were included. This meta-analysis included 5097 postmenopausal women. The pooled prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis was 32% (95% CI 28-36). Heterogeneity was statistically significant (I
conclusionOur results indicate that postmenopausal osteoporosis is prevalent in Morocco, which is a developing country; however, the prevalence of this disease is aligned with that of industrialized countries.
