Relationship between body mass index and fracture risk at different skeletal sites: a nationwide cohort study.
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 3 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
The association between obesity and fracture was skeletal site-specific with no gender difference. Obesity was associated with a higher risk of proximal humerus fractures but not for wrist or clinical vertebral fractures. PURPOSE: The association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of clinical fractures at different sites is unclear. This study aimed to examine associations between BMI and fractures at different sites in Korean men and women.
methodsThis study analyzed 285,643 Korean adults (aged 50-80 years) who participated in health examinations from 2002 to 2003 and were followed up until 2015. The incidences of osteoporotic fractures were assessed using the International Classification of Diseases (10th revision; ICD-10) and procedure or radiographic codes. After adjusting for confounders, hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazard models for fracture risk.
resultsSite-specific associations between BMI and fractures were found without gender difference. Specifically, an L-shaped association was found for clinical vertebral fractures, wherein the adjusted HRs per 5 kg/m
conclusionLow BMI was a risk factor for all tested fractures. Obesity was a risk factor for proximal humerus fracture, but it is a protective factor for wrist fracture.
