A coordination project for improvement of osteoporosis medication use among patients who sustained an osteoporotic fracture: The Israeli experience.
Article in Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to examine whether coordination between healthcare providers at an inpatient rehabilitation facility and healthcare providers in a community setting improves osteoporosis medication use in the community.
methodsIn 2012, a coordination project between an inpatient geriatric rehabilitation facility located in north-central Israel and general practitioners in the community setting was initiated. In this retrospective pseudo-experimental study, we compared osteoporosis medication use among patients who were hospitalized at the facility following an osteoporotic fracture during 2011-2012, and who constituted the control group (n=120), and patients who were hospitalized at the facility during 2013-2015, and who constituted the trial group (n=129). Data were collected from the patients' records and from records of the health maintenance organization concerning medications issued to the patients by pharmacies.
resultsDifferences were observed between the trial and the control group in osteoporosis medication management by healthcare providers, both at the inpatient rehabilitation facility and in the community, suggesting favorable trends. However, osteoporosis medication use in the community was slightly lower in the trial group, then in the control group (32.8% vs. 34.2%, respectively). A regression analysis indicated that the only variable predicting use of osteoporosis medications in the community was a previous diagnosis of osteoporosis in the community.
conclusionsThe study results indicate that mere coordination between the healthcare settings is insufficient in order to ensure continued care in the community, emphasizing the need for an osteoporosis coordinator.
