Exploring the impact of body mass index on the accuracy of vertebral bone quality in determining bone mineral density in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo investigate whether body mass index (BMI) affects the accuracy of vertebral bone quality (VBQ) in determining bone mineral density (BMD) in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery.
methodsIn this retrospective study, patients with preoperative noncontrast T1-weighted MRI were included. Restricted Cubic Spline (RCS) was employed to explore the nonlinear relationship between BMI and VBQ. Then patients were stratified according to the threshold of BMI. Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression were used to analyze the correlation between VBQ and the BMD in different groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) was used to assess diagnostic efficacy according to BMI.
resultsA total of 328 patients (201 female and 127 male patients) with a mean age of 68.3 ± 3.3 years were included in the study. Significant nonlinear relationship was observed given the results of RCS. In patients with BMI < 23.8 kg/m
conclusionsIn this study, significant nonlinear relationship between BMI and VBQ was observed. Compared with patients with BMI < 23.8 kg/m
