Treatment Considerations for Severe Osteoporosis in Older Adults.
Review in Drugs & aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Osteoporosis, a chronic metabolic bone disease, increases the predisposition to fragility fractures and is associated with considerable morbidity, high health care cost as well as mortality. An elevation in the rate of incident fragility fractures will be observed proportional with the increase in the number of older people worldwide. Severe osteoporosis is currently defined as having a bone density determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry that is more than 2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the young adult mean with one or more past fractures due to osteoporosis. Nutrition, physical activity and adequate vitamin D are essential for optimal bone strength throughout life. Hormone (oestrogen/sex steroid) status is also a major determinant of bone health. This review explores mechanisms involved in bone homeostasis, followed by the assessment and management of severe osteoporosis, including an overview of several treatment options in older people that range from anti-resorptive to anabolic therapies.
