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

Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder causing copper accumulation, which may adversely affect bone health in children. To assess bone mineral density and the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in pediatric Wilson's disease patients using DEXA. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 15 children with confirmed Wilson's disease. Bone mineral density was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and clinical, biochemical, and treatment-related variables were analyzed. The mean age was 10 ± 3.6 years; 53% were female. DEXA revealed bone disease in 60%: mild osteopenia (13%), moderate (27%), and osteoporosis (20%). Bone disease did not correlate with treatment duration, urinary copper, calcium, phosphorus, or alkaline phosphatase. However, serum albumin positively correlated with bone density (
