National utilization of calcium supplements in patients with osteoporotic hip fracture in Korea.
Article in Journal of bone metabolism, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundCalcium is prescribed worldwide for patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. However, the national utilization of calcium and compliance with calcium is unclear in Korea. Our purpose is to evaluate Korea's national utilization of calcium and compliance with calcium in patients with osteoporotic hip fracture from 2007 to 2010 using data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment (HIRA) Service.
methodsFrom 2007 to 2011, osteoporotic hip fractures were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) and procedure code form from the nationwide database of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Compliant users of calcium were defined as the patients' medication possession ratio of 80 or more. We analyzed the compliance of calcium according to age and gender.
resultsAmong 85,228 patients with hip fracture, 20,800 patients (24.4%) received a prescription of a calcium supplement. Among them, only 1,692 patients (8.1%) were identified as compliant users of calcium. The proportion of compliant users was higher in women than men in all age groups. The proportion of compliant users decreased with age in women.
conclusionsIn Korea, the national utilization of calcium was low and compliance with calcium was unsatisfactory even in patients with osteoporotic hip fracture.
