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

Context: Patients with endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS), in addition to significant cardiovascular morbidity, are burdened by a high prevalence of fragility fractures. Bone mineral density (BMD) alone poorly predicts the risk of fracture, and the implementation of trabecular bone score (TBS) is supported only by scant evidence. Indeed, reliable predictors of fractures in endogenous CS are still lacking. Objective: This work aimed to analyze the prevalence and the potential predictors of fragility fractures in our patients with CS. Methods: A monocentric, retrospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 51 patients with overt CS were enrolled. Main outcome measures included biochemical evaluation, BMD measurement, TBS evaluation, fracture presence, body composition evaluation, and arterial intima-media thickness (IMT) assessment. Results: Fragility fractures were found in 62.7% of patients at diagnosis. Fractured patients exhibited lower spine T-score ( Conclusion: CS patients with higher overall burden of cardiovascular morbidity are more prone to experience fragility fractures.
