The prevalence of patients treated for osteoporosis in Greenland is low compared to Denmark.
Article in International journal of circumpolar health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 study is a register-based cross-sectional study aiming to estimate the prevalence of treated osteoporosis in Greenland compared to Denmark and provide a description of the patients with osteoporosis in Greenland. In addition, the study estimates the incidence of hip fractures in Greenland from 2018 to 2020 among people aged 65 years or older. The overall prevalence of patients prescribed medication for osteoporosis among those aged 18 years or older was 0.56% in Greenland and 2.36% in Denmark (
