1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study aimed to explore the characteristics of bone biochemical indices, including bone mineral density (BMD), metabolic markers in elderly women with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture and their relevance in secondary fracture.

methodsThe standard for follow-up from 58 elderly women was established to analyse the BMD in the injured hip, healthy hip, and the vertebra at 1 week and 12 months after fracture. The serum levels of total procollagen type N-terminal propeptide (tPINP) and the age-related type I cross linked C-telopeptide (β-CTX) were recorded and compared between those patients with and without secondary fractures within 12 months.

resultsTwelve months after fracture, the serum levels of tPINP and β-CTX were significantly higher than the baseline values (

conclusionThe serum levels of tPINP and β-CTX are of great value in earlier and more sensitively reflecting the condition of bone turnover in body. Meanwhile, they can predict the subsequent fracture risk more accurately combined with a lower BMD. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: Besides BMD, bone microstructure and remodeling levels can be accurately measured by bone biochemical indices. The main objective of this research is to explore the change of BMD and the serum level of bone biochemical indices of elderly women who suffered unilateral intertrochanteric fracture within 12 months. Simultaneously, with aim to better obtain bone remodeling level and predict more accurately the risk of a secondary osteoporotic fracture, bone biochemical indices of these patients, who undergo secondary osteoporotic fracture or not, are collected during follow-up and compared respectively.
