PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH OSTEOPOROTIC FRACTURES AND FACTORS THAT DECREASE PREVENTION.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients with osteoporotic fractures compared to patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and identify factors that diminish adherence to secondary prevention.
methodsA total of 108 patients with osteoporotic fractures (OF) were compared to 86 patients with OA.
resultsPatients in the OF group were older (p < 0.001); had a lower body mass index (p < 0.001); were less literate (p = 0.012); were more frequently Caucasian (p = 0.003); were less frequently married (p < 0.001); experienced more falls, cognitive deficiency, previous fractures, old fracture, falls in the last year, and fall fractures; needed more help and took more medicine for osteoporosis (p < 0.05); and showed less pathology in the feet, muscle weakness, less vitamin D intake, and lower Katz & Lawton scores (p < 0.001). Factors that increased the chance of nonadherence included older age (p = 0.020), falls (p = 0.035), cognitive deficiency (p = 0.044), and presence of depression/apathy/confusion (p < 0.001).
conclusionPatient age, ethnicity, marital status, previous falls, foot pathologies, muscle weakness, previous fractures, use of vitamin D, use of osteoporosis drugs, and lower Katz & Lawton scale score defined the OF group. Factors that increased the chance of nonadherence included older age, sedative use, cognitive disorders, and symptoms of depression/apathy/confusion.
