Secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures: evaluation of the Amiens University Hospital's fracture liaison service between January 2010 and December 2011.
Observational study in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02637180 (A Multiple Center, Prospective Study Targeting the Secondary Prevention of Fractures in Greece), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 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.

Abstract
summaryThe main goal was to assess the performance of the fracture liaison service (FLS) at Amiens University Hospital for 2 years. Osteoporosis medication was prescribed in 182 patients and 67.4 % were still taking treatment 18 months later. Secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures has improved since the creation of the FLS.
introductionThe main goal of the present study was to assess the performance and results of the FLS at Amiens University Hospital, France.
methodsThis was an observational, single-center, ambispective study. All patients admitted to Amiens University Hospital between January 2010 and December 2011 for a low-trauma fracture (vertebral and non-vertebral fractures) were identified by a FLS nurse. Patients willing to enter the study were assessed for their osteoporosis risk factors, daily calcium intake, bone mineral density (BMD) by DXA, and clinical chemistry parameters. When indicated, the patients received a prescription for osteoporosis medication. The participation rate, type of osteoporosis medications, initiation rate, and osteoporosis treatment persistence 12 and 18 months later were assessed.
resultsOf the 1,439 patients contacted, 872 were eligible for inclusion. A total of 335 patients (participation rate 38.4 %) were included in the study (mean age 63.3 years; 71.9 % female). All patients underwent BMD measurement, and more than 90 % of them were assessed for osteoporosis risk factors and daily calcium intake. Osteoporosis medication was prescribed in 182 (75.5 %) of the patients in whom it was indicated (n = 241). The main class of osteoporosis medications prescribed was bisphosphonates (83.5 %), and 74.1 and 67.4 % of treated patients were still taking treatment 12 and 18 months later, respectively. The main cause of treatment discontinuation was non-renewal of the prescription by the patient's general practitioner.
conclusionSecondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in Amiens University Hospital has improved since the creation of the FLS, with encouragingly high treatment initiation and persistence rates.
