The Elders Risk Assessment Index, an electronic administrative database-derived frailty index, can identify risk of hip fracture in a cohort of community-dwelling adults.
Article in Mayo Clinic proceedings, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo determine whether an Elders Risk Assessment (ERA) index can predict incident hip fractures without the need for physician-patient encounter or bone mineral density testing. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted in a community-based cohort of 12,650 patients aged 60 years and older. An ERA score was computed for each subject at index time (January 1, 2005). Incidents of hip fracture from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2006, were obtained from electronic medical records. We divided the cohort into 5 groups, with the lowest ERA scores forming group A (<15%); 15% to 49%, group B; 50% to 74%, group C; 75% to 89%, group D; and the top 11%, group E. With group A as a reference group, we used logistic regression to compute odds ratios of sustaining hip fracture during a 2-year period (January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2006) for groups B, C, D, and E. Sensitivity and specificity of each possible ERA score were calculated, and a receiver operating characteristic curve was created.
resultsTwo hundred sixty-five patients (2.1%) sustained at least 1 hip fracture from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2006. Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for groups B, C, D, and E were 1.6 (0.7-3.4), 4.5 (2.2-9.4), 6.9 (3.3-14.3), and 18.4 (8.9-37.9), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 74.5%.
conclusionAn electronic medical record-based, easily derived ERA index might be useful in hip fracture risk stratification.
