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

Type 2 diabetic patients generally have higher BMD but greater fracture risk. Exploring their bone microarchitecture might help to explain their bone fragility. We conducted a cross-sectional matched analysis within three prospective cohorts including 477 men and women. Each patient with T2DM was matched for age, sex and BMI with two controls, yielding 159 cases and 318 controls. We used high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) to characterize cortical and trabecular bone microarchitecture. In predefined subgroup analyses within T2DM, we compared bone parameters according to glucose-lowering treatment, including metformin-containing regimens versus non-metformin oral regimens and metformin versus insulin-treated patients. In men, femoral neck aBMD was higher in T2DM (0.83 ± 0.13 vs. 0.79 ± 0.14 g/cm
