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
Soft tissue thickness is an important factor in fall-related hip fractures. However, methods used to measure soft tissue thickness are inconsistent. We developed sex-specific equations for estimating soft tissue thickness between body positions and imaging modalities. The equations support across-study comparisons and refinement of sex-specific hip fracture risk prediction tools.
introductionTrochanteric soft tissue thickness (TSTT), which is the amount of soft tissues overlying the greater trochanter, may improve hip fracture risk assessments by improving estimates of the impact force applied to the hip during a fall. Accordingly, TSTT is an important variable to consider in hip fracture risk assessment. However, measurement of TSTT is inconsistent, with different body positions (supine, side-lying, standing) and imaging modalities (ultrasound, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)) being used. PURPOSE: The objectives of this study were to develop sex-specific regression equations to allow for estimation of 1) ultrasound-measured TSTT across three common body positions, and 2) ultrasound-based TSTT from DXA-derived TSTT.
methodsMeasurements of TSTT were obtained in standing, supine, and side-lying positions using ultrasound, and from a whole-body DXA scan in 45 community-dwelling older adults. Sex-specific linear regression equations were developed for estimating ultrasound-measured TSTT across body positions, and for estimating ultrasound-measured TSTT from DXA-derived TSTT.
resultsLinear regression models revealed significant positive relationships between ultrasound-measured TSTT across all body positions and by DXA and ultrasound-measured TSTT in all body positions (r
conclusionsThe regression equations from this study can be used to estimate TSTT between body positions and imaging modalities. The data provide valuable tools to support across-study comparisons and further refinement of sex-specific hip fracture risk prediction tools.
