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

objectivesTo determine and compare the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPTH) in a population of community-dwelling and institutionalized older adults hospitalized with and without hip fracture, and to evaluate factors correlated with secondary HPTH in this population.

methodsCirculating concentrations of serum intact PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] total serum calcium and albumin were measured in 160 subjects with an osteoporotic fracture of the proximal femur and in 160 matched controls hospitalized for a disease unrelated to bone status. Patients with secondary causes of bone loss and taking medications affecting bone metabolism were excluded. Age, sex, place of residence and the ability to perform basic activities of daily living (BADL) two weeks before hospital admission were recorded at baseline.

resultsPatients were comparable with regard to the baseline demographic, biochemical and functional characteristics. The overall prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism was 51.2%, without significant differences between hip fractured patients and controls (50.6 vs 51.9%, p=0.911). In bivariate analysis only the age and functional status (BADL) demonstrated a significant relationship with secondary HPTH, while sex and place of residence were not significant. These results were also confirmed in multivariate analysis. Particularly, the risk of secondary HPTH increased with age and with the number of functions lost in BADL: patients fully dependent showed a 3 times as high risk (odd ratio 3.07, 95% confidence interval 1.73 to 5.46, p=0.000) compared to patients independent in BADL, and subject aged >88 yr had a twice as high risk of developing secondary HPTH compared to younger ones (odd ratio 2.28, 95% confidence interval 1.20 to 4.32, p=0.012).

conclusionThese results show that secondary HPTH due to hypovitaminosis D is a frequent disorder in hospitalized elderly, strongly correlated with the functional status, irrespective of sex and place of residence.
