Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Type 2 Diabetic Women with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
Article in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: There is evidence that diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is associated with increased risk for fractures in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We planned a study to assess the prevalence of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures (VFs) in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic women aged 40-60 years with DPN and to find out their relationship with severity of DPN. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included sixty-two postmenopausal type 2 diabetic women of age 40-60 years, out of them thirty-two were with DPN and thirty were without DPN. The presence of DPN was established based on history and clinical examination. Plain X-ray spine and bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were used to assess vertebral fracture and osteoporosis, respectively. Results: The prevalence of osteoporosis in women with DPN was 68.75% at lumbar spine (LS) and 18.75% at femoral neck (FN), and osteoporosis at LS was statistically significant compared to those without DPN ( Conclusion: Our study revealed high prevalence of osteoporosis at LS in postmenopausal type 2 diabetics with DPN. VFs are most common consequence of osteoporosis, although we could not find significant prevalence of VFs in women with DPN that may be due to small sample size and cross-sectional study design.
