Overwhelming Underuse of Bisphosphonates in French Nursing Home Residents After Proximal Femoral Fracture.
Observational study in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the prescription of bisphosphonates in female nursing home residents aged 75 and older with a history of proximal femoral fracture.
designObservational descriptive study, led in Brest, France, between June and August 2015.
setting12 nursing homes in Brest, France.
participantsFemale nursing home residents, aged 75 and older, with a history of proximal femoral fracture were included. Exclusion criteria were contraindications to bisphosphonate treatment and residents restricted to bed and chair. MEASUREMENTS: The primary endpoint was the evaluation of prescription of bisphosphonates at the time of the study. The secondary endpoints were to evaluate vitamin D supplementation and factors associated with bisphosphonate prescription.
results12 of the 116 included residents (10.3 %) received bisphosphonates. 66.4 % received vitamin D supplementation.
conclusionDespite successive French and international recommendations, there is still a very important underuse of treatment by bisphosphonates in old institutionalized female patients with a very high risk of fracture.
