Demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing the incidence of ankle fractures, a national population-based survey of 512187 individuals.

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
This study aimed to investigate the population-based incidence rate of ankle fracture and associated risk factors in China. All the data on ankle fractures were available from the China National Fracture Survey (CNFS) conducted between January and May in 2015. All eligible household members were sampled from 8 provinces, 24 urban cities and 24 rural counties in China, using stratified random sampling and the probability proportional to size method. Questionnaires were sent to every participant for data collection and quality control was accomplished by our quality control team members. A total of 512187 valid questionnaires were collected and relevant data were abstracted and analyzed. One hundred and ninety patients sustained 193 ankle fractures in 2014, indicating the incidence rate was 37.1 (95% CI, 31.8-42.4)/100,000 person-year. Alcohol consumption, living alone and average sleep time <7 h/d were identified as independent risk factors for ankle fracture in both males and females. Previous history of fracture was identified as significant risk factor of ankle fracture in females but not in males. Therefore, specific public health policies focusing on decreasing alcohol consumption and encouraging individuals to obtain sufficient sleep should be implemented. Individuals living alone should focus more on healthcare, especially in those with previous fracture.
