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
The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of our Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) over a period of 2 years. Osteoporosis medication was prescribed for 243 patients, and zoledronic acid was the main drug prescribed (60.2%).
introductionA Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) was implemented at Lille University Hospital in 2016. The main purpose of this study was to assess the performance of the FLS using criteria proposed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF).
methodsThe criteria used were patient identification, patient evaluation, post-fracture assessment timing, vertebral-fracture identification, blood and bone mineral density (BMD) testing, falls prevention, multifaceted health and lifestyle risk-factor assessment, and medication initiation and review.
resultsBetween January 2016 and January 2018, 736 patients (≥ 50 years old) with a recent history of fragility fracture (≤ 12 months) were identified. The identification rate for hip fractures was 74.2%. However, patient evaluation for all type of fractures was quite low (30.3%) since many patients failed to attend the FLS unit. The reasons for non-attendance were refusal, agreed but subsequently failed to attend, and still waiting to be seen. In all, 256 patients (76.6% female, mean (SD) age 74.3 (11.0) years) were seen at the FLS. Mean (SD) post-fracture assessment timing was 13.3 (9.3) weeks. Of the 139 patients seen for a non-vertebral fracture, 103 were assessed for vertebral fractures, and at least one new vertebral fracture was found in 45 of them (43.7%). Osteoporosis medication was prescribed for 243 (94.9%) patients. The main osteoporosis drug prescribed was zoledronic acid (60.2%).
conclusionsSecondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures has improved since the implementation of the FLS. However, patient identification, patient evaluation, and post-fracture assessment timing still need to be improved.
