Inadequate management for secondary fracture prevention in patients with distal radius fracture by trauma surgeons.

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
unlabelledWe evaluated the secondary fracture prevention in 1445 patients with distal radius fracture by trauma surgeons. The rate of patients with distal radius fracture who underwent bone mineral density (BMD) examination was low, suggesting that appropriate treatment for osteoporosis by trauma surgeons is not performed at present.
introductionTo clarify the status of osteoporosis interventions after distal radial fractures by trauma surgeons who play the main role in treatment for these fractures, we performed a survey involving multiple institutions in Japan.
methodsWe asked 155 board members of the Japanese Society for Fracture Repair for their cooperation and performed a survey in 48 institutions with which members who gave cooperation were affiliated. The subjects consisted of consecutive patients with distal radial fractures occurring between January and December 2012. The presence or absence of a diagnosis of osteoporosis and bone mineral density examination after fracture was investigated.
resultsA total of 1445 patients with distal radial fractures were evaluated in this study. BMD examination for diagnosis and treatment for osteoporosis after fracture was performed respectively in 126 (8.7 %) and 193 (13.4 %) of 1445 patients. Treatment for osteoporosis was performed in 93 (73.8 %) of 126 patients who underwent BMD examination after fracture and 100 (8.2 %) of 1219 who did not undergo BMD examination. Of the 126 patients who underwent BMD examination after fracture, 89 showed a BMD <80 % of the young adult mean as a criterion for the initiation of drug treatment for osteoporosis in Japan and 77 (86.5 %) of the 89 patients were treated with drugs.
conclusionsThe rate of patients with distal radial fractures who underwent BMD examination was low, suggesting that appropriate treatment for osteoporosis by trauma surgeons is not performed at present.
