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

objectivesFalls is a risk factor for fracture. The FRAX

methodsThe cross-sectional study set from 2009 to 2010 included 1200 community-dwelling people who were systematically sampled in central Taiwan. The 1200 participants (men: 524; women: 676; ≥40 years old) completed questionnaires about socioeconomic status; lifestyle; medical and fall history were completed. FRAX scores with and without bone mineral density (BMD) were calculated by using the Taiwan calculator.

resultsA total of 19.8% participants fell down. Binary regression models showed that diabetes mellitus history (OR: 1.61; 95% CI: 1.03-2.52), the FRAX without BMD in a continuous major score (OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.03-1.09), continuous hip score (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.05-1.16), categorical major score ≥ 10% (OR: 1.81; 95% CI: 1.25-2.61), and categorical hip score ≥ 3% (OR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.30-2.50) were independent risk factors for falls. FRAX with BMD in a continuous major score (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.02-1.06), continuous hip score (OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.02-1.09), categorical major score ≥ 10% (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.09-2.12), and categorical hip score ≥ 3% (OR: 1.53; 95% CI: 1.13-2.09) were also independent risk factors.
