Risk factors for Colles' fracture in men and women: results from the European Prospective Osteoporosis Study.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2003.

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
The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of constitutional and lifestyle variables on the subsequent risk of distal forearm (Colles') fracture in a multinational, multicenter, population-prospective study. A total of 15,745 subjects from the European Vertebral Osteoporosis Study, who had completed a baseline questionnaire on lifestyle and constitutional factors, were followed up annually using a validated questionnaire to ascertain the occurrence of new fractures. Risks are expressed as hazard ratios (with 95% confidence intervals) derived from a Cox proportional hazards regression model. The incidence of Colles' fracture was 1.7 and 7.3 per 1000 person years in men and women, respectively. In women delayed menarche, over the age of 15 years, was associated with a modest increased risk [HR 1.5 (range 1.1-2.0)]. Regular walking in that group also increased the risk [HR 1.6 (1.2-2.2)] perhaps reflecting the increased exposure to risk of falling. None of the other factors examined revealed any important influences. The results are broadly in line with the few other published prospective studies suggesting only a modest role for these factors in influencing susceptibility to fracture.
