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

Opportunistic chest CT (OC-CT) presents significant potential for early osteoporosis screening. However, its application remains limited to specific patient populations, and the optimal vertebral level for osteoporosis detection has yet to be determined. This study aimed to determine the optimal vertebral level and assess the feasibility of OC-CT, with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) being the gold standard. We retrospectively included 1236 participants aged 50 years or above and who completed both DXA and routine chest CT scans within 6 months. Receiver operation characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance in detecting low bone mass and osteoporosis. Among 15,007 vertebrae analyzed, CT
