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 (OP) is a major public health concern, but still OP care does not meet guidelines. Interventions have been developed to improve appropriate OP management. The objective of the present study was to systematically review the current literature to ascertain the efficacy of interventions to improve OP care and characterize interventions taking into account elements related to their potential cost and feasibility. Studies published from 2003 to 2018 were retrieved from PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Wiley Online Library databases. Screening of references and quality assessment were independently performed by two reviewers. We classified interventions into three types according to the target of the intervention: health system (structural interventions), healthcare professional (HCP), and patient. Meta-analysis was performed by type of intervention and their effect on two outcomes: prescription of BMD measurement and prescription of OP therapy. A total of 4268 records were screened; 32 studies were included in the qualitative analysis and 29 studies in the quantitative analysis. Structural interventions strongly and significantly improved prescription of BMD measurement (OR = 9.99, 95% CI 2.05; 48.59) and treatment prescription (OR = 3.82, 95% CI 2.16; 6.75). The impact of HCP-centered interventions on BMD measurement prescription did not reach statistical significance (OR = 2.19, 95% CI 0.84; 5.73) but significantly improved treatment prescription (OR = 3.82, 95% CI 2.16; 6.75). Interventions involving patients significantly improved the prescription of BMD measurement (OR = 2.16, 95% CI 1.62; 2.89) and treatment prescription (OR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.35; 2.14). Interventions to improve OP management had a significant positive impact on prescription of BMD measurement but a more limited impact on treatment prescription.
