Operational Definition Identifying Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures in the Claims Database.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundWe analyzed the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) diagnostic codes, procedure codes, and radiographic image codes for vertebral fracture (VF) used in the database of Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) of Korea to establish a validated operational definition for identifying patients with osteoporotic VF in claims data.
methodsWe developed three operational definitions for detecting VFs using 9 diagnostic codes, 5 procedure codes and 4 imaging codes. Medical records and radiographs of 2,819 patients, who had primary and subordinated codes of VF between January 2016 and December 2016 at two institutions, were reviewed to detect true vertebral fractures. We evaluated the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the operational definition in detecting true osteoporotic VF and obtained the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
resultsAmong the 2,819 patients who had primary or secondary diagnosis codes for VF, 995 patients satisfied at least one of the criteria for the operational definition of osteoporotic VF. Of these patients, 594 were judged as having true fractures based on medical records and radiographic examinations. The sensitivity and PPV were 62.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 59.4-65.6) and 59.7(95% CI, 56.6-62.8) respectively. In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, area under the curve (AUC) was 0.706 (95% CI, 0.688-0.724).
conclusionOur findings demonstrate the validity of our operational definitions to identify VFs more accurately using claims data. This algorithm to identify VF is likely to be useful in future studies for diagnosing osteoporotic VF.
