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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between ABO blood type and three bone mineral density (BMD) measurements including CT Hounsfield units (HU), vertebral bone quality (VBQ) scores, and Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in patients undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD) and determine the postoperative BMD-related complications and patient-reported outcomes in four ABO-type groups.
methodsThis study included patients undergoing single-level TLIF for LDD at our center from 2014 to 2020. Demographic and clinical information were collected. The correlation between ABO blood type and three BMD measurements was analyzed. Radiographic images, the visual analog scale (VAS) score of back and leg pain, and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to compare the differences in BMD-related complications and patient-reported outcomes between four ABO-type groups.
results350 patients were included in this study. ABO blood group distribution is O (33.7%), A (32.6%), B (24.6%), and AB (9.7%). The values of CT HU in four groups have a significant difference (P = 0.001). Patients with CT HU ≤ 110 were older (62.6 ± 11.6 vs. 58.4 ± 13.4, P = 0.022) and had a higher proportion of O blood type (45.2% vs. 31.3%) compared to patients with CT HU>110. There are no statistically significant differences in BMD-related complications and patient-reported outcomes between the four ABO-type groups.
conclusionOur study found a close connection between ABO blood type and CT HU in patients undergoing TLIF for LDD and determined O blood type is a risk factor for osteoporosis.
