[Effects of statins on bone mineral density of postmenopausal women from Córdoba, Argentina]
Article in Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
New evidence has emerged on pleiotropic properties of Statins (St), that would be potentially beneficial in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP) Our objective was to study the effect of St on bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study, that analyze postmenopausal women with hypercholesterolemia who received treatment with St for at least 6 months, and as a control group (CG), postmenopausal women who did not receive St assisted in two rheumatology services in the city of Córdoba from August 2014 to September 2018. Results: 202 postmenopausal women received St and 203 constituted the CG. The average age, weight and BMI were 62.54 years, 69.60 kg and 27.13 in the St group vs 58.58 years, 65.70 kg and 26.83 in the control group (p= 0.0001, p= 0.01, p=ns respectively). Lumbar, femoral neck and total hip BMD were statistically higher in patients who received St than in controls (-0.87 vs -1.74 p=0.00, - 1.15 vs 1.56 p= 0.00 and - 0.33 vs - 0.75 p= 0.01). Regarding the time of St treatment, a significant difference was found only in relation to BMD and lumbar spine between the groups of 6 to 12 months and those that received between 12 and 36 months. No relationship was found between BMD and the different types of St received. Conclusion: Treatment with St could improve BMD in hypercholesterolemic postmenopausal women who takes these drugs.
