Clinical features and burden of osteoporotic fractures among the elderly in the USA from 2016 to 2018.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This study provides a national estimate of the incidence of hospitalizations and assesses the clinical features and outcomes during inpatient admission due to osteoporotic fractures diagnosed by ICD-10-CM/PCS among the elderly in the USA, using the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample, 2016-2018. PURPOSE: To provide a national estimate of the incidence of hospitalizations and assess the clinical features and outcomes during inpatient admission due to osteoporotic fractures (OFs) among the elderly in the USA.
methodsThe study included all inpatients aged 65 years and older who participated in the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS). We conducted a retrospective analysis of hospitalizations with OFs diagnosed by the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-CM/PCS), using the US NIS, 2016-2018. Trends in epidemiological characteristics and outcomes were calculated by annual percentage change (APC).
resultsFrom 2016 to 2018, there were an estimated 0.16 million hospitalizations for OFs, and the estimated annual incidence rate changed from 995 cases per 1 million persons in 2016 to 1114 cases per 1 million persons in 2018 (APC, 5.8% [95% CI, 0.0 to 12.0]; P > 0.05). Over two-thirds of the patients (68.2%) were age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, and OFs were more likely to occur in vertebra (51.7%) and femur (34.7%). During the hospitalization, the average length of stay (LOS) was 5.83 days, the average cost reached $60,901.04, and the overall mortality was 2.3%. All outcomes including LOS, average cost and mortality did not change significantly in 2016-2018 (all P values for trend were over 0.05).
conclusionBetween 2016 and 2018, the incidence rate of OFs remained relatively stable, but the total number of cases was huge. OFs was predominantly age-related, mostly in vertebrae and femurs, with relatively stable cost and mortality during hospitalization.
