A multi-site review of second hip fractures across 6 Dublin teaching hospitals.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionFragility hip fractures are common and costly. Secondary fracture prevention is a treatment goal following hip fracture; however, the number of those that proceed to fracture their contralateral hip in Ireland is unknown. There are plans to introduce a Fracture Liaison Service Database in Ireland which will aim to prevent secondary fractures. To establish a baseline figure for secondary hip fractures, the injury radiographs of 1284 patients from 6 teaching hospitals over a 1-year period were reviewed.
methodsIrish Hip Fracture Datasheets and corresponding injury radiographs were reviewed locally for all hip fractures within each respective teaching hospital for a 1-year period (2019).
resultsA total of 8.7% of all fragility hip fractures across the 6 hospitals were secondary hip fractures (range 4.9-11.5%). 46% occurred within years 1 to 3 following index hip fracture. Forty-eight per cent of patients were started on bone protection medications following their second hip fracture. DISCUSSION/
conclusionApproximately 1 in 11 hip fractures treated across the 6 teaching hospitals assessed in 2019 was a patient's second hip fracture. We advocate for the widespread availability of Fracture Liaison Services to patients throughout Ireland to assist secondary fracture prevention.
