Osteopenia in primary biliary cirrhosis and cirrhosis of the liver in women, evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Article in Journal of gastroenterology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To study bone involvement in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), we used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in Japanese women with PBC and with cirrhosis of the liver. In both groups, in each decade up to 60 years of age, the mean BMD of the lumbar spine was not significantly different from that in healthy Japanese women; however, in patients aged 60 years or more, the level was significantly lower both in the patients with PBC (P < 0.001) and in those with cirrhosis of the liver (P < 0.01). Patients with PBC were also examined by single-photon absorptiometry. The BMD of the radius in the patients with PBC was less changed than that of the lumbar vertebrae; thus, the bone changes in PBC seem to be greater in spongy than in cortical bone.
