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

introductionThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between Osteoporosis (OP) and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1), in the hypothesis that OP can influence the epidemiological and clinical features of CRPS-1. MATERIALS AND

methodsFrom March 2013 to May 2024, consecutive patients newly diagnosed with CRPS-1 were recruited. Demographic and clinical variables were collected in a standardised fashion. Univariate analyses and multivariate linear regression models were used to investigate the sample.

resultsWe enrolled 425 patients, mostly females (70.1%), more than half (52.2%) with a fracture as the inciting event. A previous OP diagnosis was found in 113 patients (26.6%). Variables significantly associated with OP were female gender, hand localisation, fracture as the inciting event, and a more severe CRPS-1. A fracture in patients with OP seems to trigger CRPS-1 mainly in women in the first decade after menopause, while in males and in older women a weaker association was observed. Multivariate analysis showed a correlation between OP and a more severe CRPS-1 (p = 0.014).

conclusionA higher incidence of OP was observed more frequently in women with CRPS-1 in the first decade after menopause. This result could be driven by the proinflammatory cytokines increase observed in the early menopause, inducing both a faster systemic bone loss and an "inflammatory milieu" acting as a predisposing factor for CRPS-1 onset and a more severe disease.
