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
There are geographic variations in hip fracture incidence rates across Norway, with a lower incidence in the coastal areas of the southwest and in the Arctic north, contrary to what may be expected with regard to vitamin D exposure from sunlight. The regional differences have become smaller in recent years.
introductionTo investigate geographic variation in hip fracture incidence within Norway and regional differences in time trends.
methodsAll hip fractures treated in Norwegian hospitals 2002-2013 were included, and demographic information was obtained from Statistics Norway. Age-standardized incidence rates were calculated separately for 19 counties. Incidence rate ratios with 95% confidence intervals for county differences and time trends were estimated using Poisson regression.
resultsAge-standardized number of hip fractures per 10,000 person-years varied between counties from 69 to 84 in women and from 34 to 41 in men. The highest rates were observed in the southeastern capital city of Oslo, while rates were low in the four northernmost counties. There was an east-west gradient, with lower incidence in the coastal southwest compared with the southeast. Women showed a statistically significant decline during 2002-2013 in almost all counties (up to 31%). In men, only a few counties showed a decline. In both genders, hip fracture rates at age 80 in the combined five counties with the highest rates were significantly higher than in the combined five counties with the lowest rates across the period, although the trends converged over time.
conclusionsIn Norway, the hip fracture incidence was lower in the north compared with the south. In addition, we observed an east-west gradient with the highest incidence in the southeast and lower incidence in the coastal southwest. While there has been an overall declining trend in hip fracture incidence over time, regional differences are still apparent.
