Emerging trends in hospitalisation for fragility fractures in Ireland.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundWe analysed hospital admissions and bed occupancy for fragility fractures in Ireland over a 15-year period to assess fracture admission trends and to project admissions over the next three decades.
methodsWe used the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) scheme to extract data on fracture admissions to Irish hospitals between 2000 and 2014 inclusive. We calculated absolute numbers and age-standardised rates of hospitalisations for men and women ≥ 50 years for each osteoporotic-type fracture. We projected fracture numbers and bed days using these trends, and associated costs to 2046 based on 2014 rates.
resultsThe absolute number of all fragility fracture admissions increased by 30% between 2000 and 2014, for both men (40%) and women (27%). In-patient bed days for osteoporotic fractures have increased by 51% in the same period. Hip fractures dominated admissions, accounting for 36.5% of all admissions and almost half (46.7%) of all bed days. Age-standardised rates of hip fracture admission decreased significantly (p < 0.001) in women, but not in men, while rates of non-hip osteoporotic fracture admissions have not changed significantly for men or women. Hospitalisations for all osteoporotic fractures are projected to increase by 150% to 31,605 in 2046, 58% of whom will be 80 years or older.
conclusionsThere has been a significant increase in the number of fracture admissions in Irish men and women over the past 15 years. This is projected to increase further over the next three decades which will place a significant burden on the Irish healthcare system.
