Global and regional prevalence of osteoporosis in kidney transplant recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at a heightened risk of low bone density and fractures. This study sought to determine the overall prevalence of osteoporosis in KTRs. Published observational studies and those with a baseline report on osteoporosis were evaluated in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and EMBASE, in addition to Google Scholar from January 1, 2000, to January 1, 2024. The methodological quality of the included studies was rigorously assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal checklist. Heterogeneity across primary study results was evaluated using the I-square index, while publication bias was scrutinized using Egger's test and funnel plots. Statistical analyses were carried out using Stata software Ver. 11. After conducting searches across multiple databases, a total of 136 primary studies were ultimately included. The prevalence of osteoporosis in specific skeletal areas is as follows: 20% (95% CI 18-23, n = 67) in the lumbar region, 23% (95% CI 19-26, n = 53) in the femoral neck, 15% (95% CI 11-19, n = 20) in the total hip, 29% (95% CI 10-49, n = 5) in the forearm, and 34% (95% CI 28-40, n = 6) in the ultradistal radius. Based on sex-specific rate in the existing literature, the prevalence is reported as 21% (95% CI 15-27, n = 16) in men and 28% (95% CI 20-35, n = 16) in women. Our results for adult KTRs represent the high prevalence of osteoporosis which was highest in bone site rich in cortical content (e.g., ultradistal radius).
