Osteoporosis, sedentary lifestyle, and increasing hip fractures: pathogenic relationship or differential survival bias.
Review in Calcified tissue international, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Osteoporosis, although a disorder of antiquity, has become more prevalent in developed countries and is a major risk factor for skeletal fracture. Accordingly, the increasing incidence of hip fracture among the elderly within developed nations has been attributed to an increased prevalence of osteoporosis. An increasingly sedentary lifestyle has been suggested as a significant contributing factor for the increased prevalence of osteoporosis. However, differential survival, reflecting changing competing mortality risks, will alter the gene pool of a surviving population cohort. Thus, the gene pool (and hence, disease susceptibilities) of 70-year-old individuals in 1990, for example, should not implicitly be assumed to be the same as 70-year-old individuals in 1950. Consequently, differences in the prevalence of osteoporosis or incidence of hip fracture between current and past elderly cohorts do not necessarily imply differences in environmental risk factors such as levels of physical activity. Instead, variation in competing mortality risks over time may produce differential survival with selection bias and "naturally" lead to increases in the incidence and prevalence of some aging-related disorders such as osteoporosis.
