Relation of bone mineral density with fat infiltration of paraspinal muscles: The Goutallier classification.
Article in Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objectives: Muscle and bone tissue are interrelated throughout their developmental processes via paracrine and endocrine pathways. Osteosarcopenia has emerged with the growing data proving the high rate of simultaneous occurrence of sarcopenia and osteoporosis. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between osteoporosis, and muscle quality by grading the fatty infiltration in paraspinal muscles according to the Goutallier classification in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Data of postmenopausal patients who underwent MRI for low back pain were analyzed retrospectively. Lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Grade of paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration for each level of lumbar vertebrae including L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4, was evaluated separately according to Goutallier classification system. Results: A total of 91 postmenopausal women were included in the study. The mean age of the study population was 60.5 ± 11. Lumbar vertebrae L1-L4 total T-scores and BMD g/cm Conclusions: There is a strong relationship between osteoporosis of the lumbar spine and paraspinal muscle quality, which can be considered as a reflection of osteosarcopenia. The Goutailler classification can be an effective and easy method in the evaluation of muscle quality with MRI.
