Fractal Dimension Analysis and Radiomorphometric Indices as Predictors for Low Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women: A CBCT-Based Study.
Article in Journal of menopausal medicine, 2026. 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
objectivesThis study assessed mandibular cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiomorphometric indices and box-counting fractal dimension (FD) for the detection of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It also compared these parameters with those of a healthy control group and evaluated their correlation with bone mineral density measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
methodsThe study included 50 postmenopausal women aged > 45 years, who were categorized into osteoporotic and control groups based on DXA results. Mandibular CBCT radiomorphometric indices and FD analysis were performed.
resultsSignificant differences were observed in the CT cortical index, with Type 3 changes more frequently in the osteoporotic group (48.0%), whereas Type 1 morphology was predominant in controls (64.0%) (
conclusionsCBCT radiomorphometric indices may serve as a useful adjunct for identifying individuals at risk of osteoporosis and for guiding referral for further evaluation.
