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

[Purpose] We aimed to examine factors at admission that are related to independence in stair climbing at discharge among patients with vertebral compression fractures. [Participants and Methods] The study included 179 female patients with vertebral compression fractures. A decision tree model was created to predict independence in stair climbing at discharge based on Dementia Scale-Revised, skeletal muscle mass index body mass index, grip strength, number of vertebral fractures, and number of injuries at admission. [Results] Analysis with the decision tree model showed that skeletal muscle mass index at admission, age, and grip strength were predictors for independence in stair climbing at discharge. [Conclusion] Patients with vertebral compression fractures who have a low skeletal muscle mass index and grip strength on admission may require assistance with stair climbing upon discharge.
