The role of ultrasound in the assessment of osteoporosis: a review.
Review in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 1997.

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 is now being recognized as a "silent epidemic" and there is an increasing need to improve its diagnosis and management. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurement [broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and velocity] is emerging as an alternative to photon absorptiometry techniques in the assessment of osteoporosis. The fundamental principles governing ultrasound measurements are discussed, and some of the commercially available clinical systems are reviewed, particularly in relation to data acquisition methods. A review of the published in vivo and in vitro data is presented. The general consensus is that ultrasound seems to provide structural information in addition to density. The diagnostic sensitivity of ultrasound measurement of the calcaneus in the prediction of hip fracture has been shown by recent large prospective studies to be similar to hip bone mineral density (BMD) measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and superior to spine BMD. Ultrasound has also been shown to correlate better with the type of hip fracture (intertrochanteric or cervical) than BMD and to provide comparable diagnostic sensitivity to spine BMD in vertebral fractures. It has also been observed that combining the results of both ultrasound and DXA BMD significantly improved hip fracture prediction. Areas where further research is required are identified.
