Handgrip and its relation to age, fragility fractures, and BMD between sexes in a population aged 50+ years.

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
Introduction: A decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) accompanied by muscle weakness during aging significantly increases the probability of low-energy fracture occurrence, but it can also happen in those with a non-osteoporotic score (treatment gap). To improve the identification process of those at risk, the authors proposed using the interconnectivity between bone mineral density and muscle tissue. Material and methods: A total of 20,776 patient records were collected from the database in the period 2008-2021. After applying inclusion criteria, a total of 7159 records were used in the study. Questionnaires regarding patients' history were collected at admission. Patients underwent lumbar spine and/or femoral neck DXA examination and handgrip testing with a handheld dynamometer. Statistical analysis was conducted using tests suitable for the distribution of the data. Results: Osteoporosis was diagnosed in a total of 1914 patients. Depending on the diagnosis there was a significant ( Conclusions: Due to its relationship with BMD, its low cost, and availability, HGS might prove useful in identifying women at risk of a fragility fracture.
