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

backgroundOsteoporosis is the leading cause of vertebral fractures. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and radiographs are traditionally used to detect osteoporosis and vertebral fractures/deformities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be utilized to detect the relative severity of vertebral deformities using three-dimensional information not available in traditional DXA and lateral two-dimensional radiography imaging techniques.

aimTo generate normative vertebral parameters in women using MRI and DXA scans, determine the correlations between MRI-calculated vertebral deformities and age, DXA T-scores, and DXA Z-scores, and compare MRI vertebral deformity values with radiography values previously published in the literature.

methodsThis study is a retrospective vertebral morphometric analysis conducted at our institution. The patient sample included MR images from 1638 female patients who underwent both MR and DXA imaging between 2005 and 2014. Biconcavity, wedge, crush, anterior height (H

resultsAge was positively correlated with lumbar H

conclusionCompared with traditional imaging techniques, MRI detects vertebral deformities with high accuracy and reliability. It may be a sensitive, ionizing, radiation-free tool for use in clinical settings.
