Different approach to bone mineral density in non-traumatic spinal cord injury: a comparison with traumatic spinal cord injury.

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
objectiveThe incidence of non-traumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) is rising with an ageing population. This study identified diagnostic bone sites and risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with NTSCI and those with TSCI according to age category.
designRetrospective cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: 1,159 with TSCI and 475 with NTSCI at the National Rehabilitation Center in Korea.
methodsDiagnostic bone sites and BMD using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were compared between groups and BMD risk factors were assessed.
resultsThe lumbar spine BMD and T-score values of osteoporosis were lower in the NTSCI group than in the TSCI group over 50 years old (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the DXA results between the NTSCI and TSCI under 50 years of age. As an osteoporotic diagnostic site in the NTSCI group (≥ 50 years) (43%), the lumbar spine had higher proportions than in the TSCI group (29%). Female sex and low body mass index were risk factors for osteoporosis in both groups (≥ 50 years).
conclusionBMD evaluation in patients aged 50 years and older with NTSCI should include the lumbar spine area. Individuals with risk factors for SCI must undergo BMD assessment and close monitoring.
