Impaired geometric properties of tibia in older women with hip fracture history.

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
unlabelledThis study evaluated side-to-side differences in tibial mineral mass and geometry in women with previous hip fracture sustained on average 3.5 years earlier. Both tibial mineral mass and geometry were found to be reduced in the fractured leg.
introductionThe purpose of this study was to evaluate side-to-side differences in tibial mineral mass and geometry after hip fracture and to assess the determinants of such differences.
methodsThirty-eight 60- to 85-year-old women with a previous hip fracture and 22 same-aged control women without fractures participated in the study. Bone characteristics of the distal tibia and tibial shaft of both legs were assessed using pQCT in order to compare the side-to-side differences of tibias between the two groups.
resultsThe subjects with fracture history had significantly (p < OR = 0.05, analysis of covariance) larger side-to-side differences than the controls in tibial shaft BMC (-4.9% vs. -0.5%), cortical area (-5.2% vs. 0.1%) and polar moment of inertia (I(polar)) (-5.6% vs. -0.8%) and in distal tibia BMC (-5.1% vs. -1.4%) and I(polar) (-7.5% vs. -2.4%). In the fracture patients, the side-to-side differences in muscle characteristics explained 23 to 44% of the variances in the side-to-side differences in bone mass and geometry.
conclusionsHip fracture results in reduced bone mass and impaired bone geometry in the tibia of the affected limb in older women. Muscle-induced loading may have a considerable role in the recovery of bone mineral mass and geometry after hip fracture.
