EVALUATION OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE AND BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: In recent years, it has been claimed that non-alcoholoic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has a negative effect on bone mineral density (BMD) and causes osteoporosis. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and BMD in postmenopausal women. Patients and Methods: This study was designed prospectively: 118 postmenopausal women were included in the study. The study participants were divided into two groups as 59 people with NAFLD and 59 people without NAFLD. The groups were compared in terms of bone mineral density. Results: The mean age of the participants in the study was 59.09 ± 9.22 years. According to the degree of NAFLD adiposity of the participants, 59 people were non-NAFLD (50%), 21 people were grade 1 (17.8%), 34 people were grade 2 (28.8%), and 4 people were grade 3 (3.4%). According to the Femur T score of the participants, 2 (1.7%) were osteoporosis, 34 (28.8%) osteopenia, 82 (69.5%) were normal. According to the L1-L4 T score of the participants, 18 (15.3%) were osteoporosis, 44 (37.3%) osteopenia, 56 (47.5%) normal. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of femoral T score and L1-L4 T score. Age, BMI, GGT negatively affect the femoral T score. Conclusion: We found that there was no difference in BMD between groups with and without NAFLD ultrasonographically, but there was a negative correlation between GGT and Femur T score in the subjects.This data suggest that NAFLD may cause osteoporosis".
