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
purposePatients with Parkinson's disease, often accompanied by osteoporosis, have a higher risk of osteoporotic fractures. However, a large cohort study assessing the preventive effect of bisphosphonates for osteoporotic fracture on patients with Parkinson's disease is scarce.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included nearly whole population of South Korea during 2002 to 2018 from the national patient database of Korea National Health Insurance Service. Of 608,202 patients with Parkinson's disease, a total of 7335 patients were selected for index regression model and 5806 patients were further selected for landmark model of 1 year after diagnosis of osteoporosis. Occurrence of osteoporotic fracture was set defined as outcome variable for both regression models.
resultsRegression analysis with a landmark model one year after the index diagnosis of osteoporosis showed that the use of bisphosphonates had a significant preventive effect on osteoporotic fractures (hazard ratio [HR] 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.73-0.96, p = 0.012). In index regression model, higher age, larger waist circumference, smoking, and history of lymphoma were significant risk factors of osteoporotic fractures. Higher weight and higher physical activity score were significant preventative factors.
conclusionIn the regression analysis with landmark model with 5806 patients, higher age, heavy alcohol consumption, smoking, and history of solid tumor were significant risk factors of osteoporotic fractures. Higher weight was a significant preventative factor.
