1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In the postmenopausal period, a decrease in sex hormone levels may alter body composition and can predispose individuals to increased body fat and musculoskeletal tissue degeneration, including a deterioration in the articular cartilage. The aim of the study was to assess the resting serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentrations in postmenopausal women with different body mass indexes (BMIs) and how COMP correlates with both lean and fat mass as well as with blood count-derived inflammatory markers. Thirty-three postmenopausal women were included in the study. Total fat and lean body mass were measured via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Blood serum concentrations of COMP and adiponectin were assessed, and lymphocyte, monocyte and granulocyte counts were determined. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and granulocyte-to-lymphocyte (GLR) ratios were calculated. The analysis of differences in body mass, BMI, lean body mass, fat mass, and android (
