Proximal hip geometry and hip fracture risk assessment in a Korean population.

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
unlabelledThe association between proximal femoral geometry and hip fracture risk were investigated. The risk of intertrochanteric fractures increased 1.64-fold and 2.32-fold with 1 standard deviation (sd) increase of hip axis length and neck-shaft angle, respectively, while the risk of femur neck fracture 2.03-fold with 1 sd decrease in femoral head offset.
introductionThe purpose of this study was to determine the association between proximal femoral geometry (PFG) and the risk of hip fracture in femur neck (FN) and intertrochanteric (IT) fractures in a Korean population.
methodsThe study included 151 patients (57 patients with IT fractures, 43 patients with FN fractures, and 51 control patients). Data on BMD, PFG parameters (hip axis length [HAL], neck-shaft angle [NSA], neck length, femoral head offset, neck diameter, shaft diameter (SD), and demographics [age, gender, height, and body weight]) were collected. Descriptive statistics and odds ratios of PFG parameters corrected with demographic variables were obtained using logistic regressions.
resultsHAL (p = 0.046) and NSA (p = 0.003) were significantly greater in the patients with IT fracture than in the control patients, while neither parameter was significantly greater in patients with FN fractures than the control patients. The femoral head offset was significantly shorter in the patients with FN fractures (p = 0.003) compared with the control patients. In patients with IT fractures, the fracture risk increased 1.64-fold (p = 0.048) with a 1 sd increase of the HAL, while it increased 2.32-fold (p = 0.003) with a 1 sd increase of the NSA. In FN fractures, the fracture risk increased 2.03-fold (p = 0.012) with a 1 sd decrease in femoral head offset.
conclusionsOur study showed that some PFG parameters as well as BMD values predict hip fractures in a Korean population, and their evaluation may be useful in the understanding of the biomechanics of hip fractures.
