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

introductionThe prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in patients with acute hip fracture was examined in a population on Sado Island in Japan. There were 85 cases of hip fracture among this population in 2004, giving an overall incidence of hip fracture of 121.4 per 100,000 population per year. This study included 50 of the 85 cases, and these cases were defined as the hip fracture group. Patients older than 70 years without established osteoporosis who were admitted to the hospital on the island during almost the same period for treatment of an orthopedic condition other than a hip fracture were defined as the control group. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), intact parathyroid hormone (intact PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin, and the number of remaining teeth were examined in each group. In the hip fracture group, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, urine N-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (NTx), bone mineral density (BMD) of the nonfractured hip, the presence of a vertebral fracture on X-ray, severity of dementia, and physical activity level were also examined.

resultsBoth the serum 25-OHD and serum albumin levels were significantly lower in patients with hip fracture than in controls, and the intact PTH level was significantly higher in patients with hip fracture. The number of remaining teeth was correlated with age, and was also significantly correlated with 25-OHD. In the hip fracture group, 62% of the subjects had hypovitaminosis D (25-OHD <20 ng/ml) and one-fifth of cases with hypovitaminosis D showed elevated PTH levels (>65 pg/ml). On the other hand, in the control group, hypovitaminosis D occurred in 18.9% of the subjects, and only one case showed elevated PTH. The serum 25-OHD level showed a decrease as the severity of dementia progressed and the activity level decreased.

conclusionOur results indicate that about two-thirds (62%) of hip fracture patients had vitamin D insufficiency, suggesting that this condition may be closely associated with hip fracture in elderly people. Therefore, the serum 25-OHD level may be a useful index for the risk of hip fracture in elderly people.
