Long-term experiences of pain after a fragility fracture.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Little is known about long-term pain after a fragility fracture. In this secondary analysis, we determined that pain continues to influence many patients' lives more than 1 year after a fracture and that health care providers do not seem to adequately recognize or manage these long-term consequences.
introductionWe characterized perspectives on long-term pain among men and women who had sustained a fragility fracture.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of qualitative data from 67 individuals recruited in three primary studies (47-89 years old; 55 women, 12 men). Eligible individuals from the primary studies were those who had reported pain related to their fracture beyond 6 months. Data about reported pain were re-analyzed using qualitative description as articulated by Sandelowski.
resultsThirty-four individuals (47-89 years old; 4 men; 8 had sustained a vertebral fracture) reported pain related to their fracture in the primary studies. Thirty-one (91%) participants had sustained a fragility fracture at least 1 year previously (range 1-13 years). Patients described long-term pain beyond typical fracture healing times, generally unrelieved by analgesics, which affected their mobility, functional activity, independence, sleep, and energy. Health care providers were perceived to under-estimate timelines regarding the decrease of post-fracture pain and to not manage that pain. Participants reported that pain management was inadequate and that they developed their own strategies to respond to it.
conclusionsPain continues to influence many patients' lives more than 1 year after a fragility fracture. Patient narratives could be useful to help health care providers to better recognize and manage this long-term consequence of fractures.
