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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesOsteoporosis (OS) is a systemic bone disease that increases bone fragility and fracture susceptibility, which is characterized by reduced bone mass, poor bone quality, and decreased bone strength. This study examined the risk factors for OS in the elderly. SUBJECTS/

methodsTwo hundred elderly patients who underwent examinations in the authors' hospital from July 2021 to October 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The subject's clinical data were analyzed retrospectively to understand the characteristics or changes of the study subjects during the period. The subjects who met the inclusion criteria were divided into an OS group (S group, 73 cases with T value ≤ -2.5 SD) and a non-OS group (NS group, 127 cases with T value > -2.5 SD) based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The receiver operating characteristics were applied to analyze the predictive value.

resultsAge (> 65 yrs), sex (female), visceral fat areas (VFA) (> 86 cm

conclusionAge, sex, BMI, VFA, calcium intake, BMD, and PTH were relevant factors affecting the development of OS. The combined detection by age, BMI, and VFA could predict the development of OS.
