Pain in Osteoporosis: Current and Future Strategies.
Review in Drugs & aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease and the main cause of fractures in older adults. Although it is commonly described as a silent disease, the bone pain caused by fragility fractures is its main symptom. Besides acute pain, fragility fractures may trigger a sequence of events that perpetuate and progress into chronic pain. The pathogenesis of musculoskeletal pain in patients with osteoporosis is complex and largely depends on skeletal and muscular changes, unbalanced bone turn-over, alterations in bone innervation, and central sensitization. Pain, in the context of bone fragility, represents an outstanding contributor to functional limitation, disability, and impaired quality of life. Pain prevention is closely related to identification of osteoporosis risk factors and early diagnosis and treatment of bone fragility. The management of pain in patients with severe osteoporosis also benefits from a multidimensional approach combining nonpharmacological with pharmacological therapies (e.g., physical exercise, nutrition, analgesics, and anti-osteoporotic drugs, as appropriate). This review aims to examine the mechanisms of pain in osteoporosis and provide an evidence-based overview of current and emerging treatment strategies.
