Evaluation of proximal femoral geometry and its relationship with body mass index in Iranian people: a cross sectional study.

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
introductionThere are several studies on the angle of the femoral neck in different countries. It seems that data of diverse races might help the prediction of femoral neck fractures. The present study aimed to evaluate the femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA) as a predictive factor of neck fracture in Iranian people.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, the FNSA was measured using radiographs in 635 patients referred to Poursina Hospital in Rasht from September 2018 to October 2019. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated, age and sex of patients were recorded. Data were analyzed by SPSS. The level of statistical significance was adjusted to P<0.05.
resultsAccording to the measured variables, gender, age, BMI and right FNSA are significant in the way that participants with normal BMI have higher FNSA. FNSA decreased with age and height. Obese people had lower FNSA than normal and overweight people. Comparison of left and right angles using the Wilcoxon test showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The right side FNSA was more than the left (59.94%). Only in 39.9%, the left FNSA was more than the right, and in 0.15% both were the same.
conclusionThe present cross-sectional study shows a significant relationship between BMI and FNSA. It is suggested that physician evaluates these parameters for prediction of fracture risk in individuals.
