Risk factors and quality of life for the occurrence of hip fracture in postmenopausal women.
Article in Biomedical journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
backgroundTo identify the risk factors and changes of quality of life in the first occurrence of hip fracture in Taiwanese postmenopausal women.
methodsIn this case-control study, we enrolled 100 postmenopausal women with accidental first-incident hip fracture and 100 women without hip fracture. The control group was matched to the study group according to age. Evaluation consisted of a questionnaire, an interview to both assess quality of life via a 36-item Short Form Health Survey and document risk factors, a physical examination to record height and body weight, and bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and spine using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 77.9 years old. Compared with the controls, the patients with first-incident hip fracture had a lower level of education, increased body height, higher parity, no experience of estrogen therapy, prior history of diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis, walking aid use, less weight-bearing exercise, and steroid use. Total hip BMD was a stronger predictor than BMD at different sites. Quality of life was significantly higher in the control group at the baseline and 4-month follow-up.
conclusionsQuality of life was related to the first-incident hip fracture. The increased risk of falls, lower level of education, and total hip BMD are the strongest predictors of first-incident hip fracture in Asian elderly postmenopausal women.
