Bone Scintigraphy and Laboratory Clues to Osteomalacia in a Middle-Aged Man With Hip Fractures.
Article in Clinical nuclear medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 43-year-old man with a 1-year history of bilateral hip pain, worsened by standing and walking, presented with a limping gait. x-rays showed diffuse osteoporosis (osteoblastic-lytic), and a bone scan revealed symmetric uptake in the costochondral junctions (rosary beads), femoral neck, proximal tibia, and feet, with no visualization of the kidneys, suggesting a metabolic disorder or neoplasm. Computed tomography revealed osteolytic lesions in multiple bones. Suspecting metabolic bone disease or metastasis, laboratory tests were conducted. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed bilateral femoral neck fractures. He underwent open reduction internal fixation for the hip fractures. The imaging and laboratory findings suggest osteomalacia.
