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

Bone mass measurement is a useful tool in determining the risk of fracture. However, there are questions about whether or not bone mass measurement should be used in premenopausal women. Part of the problem concerns the issue of whether or not bone mass or bone density falls prior to menopause. Significant prospective data are still being gathered on this issue, which is hotly debated. In addition, even if there is a loss of bone density prior to menopause, it is not evident what clinical strategy would result from the measurement. At present, therefore, it seems prudent only to measure bone mass of women who have significantly impaired ovarian function or who are approaching menopause.
