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

To explore the hypothesis that knee osteoarthritis patients with osteoporosis represent a sub-cohort with different disease characteristics and origin of symptoms. Men and women in the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) at visit 5 (36 months) were examined for osteoporosis (N = 1483) using DXA (T-score at femoral neck ≤ -2.5), use of bisphosphonates, or having experienced a fracture. Those with and without osteoporosis were compared by subchondral bone quality, bone marrow lesion (BML) properties, and cartilage thickness from MRI, with general linear modeling. Relationships between symptoms (12 months later) and each of cartilage or subchondral bone features were examined conditional on osteoporosis status. Overall, 15.2% of 1246 participants (825 women, 658 men, mean age: 64.4 ± 8.9yrs, BMI: 30.1 ± 4.9 kg/m
