Osteoporosis-related characteristics in care home residents in England: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BJGP open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe characteristics of care home populations, with respect to fracture risk factors, have not been well-defined.
aimTo describe osteoporosis-related characteristics among care home residents, including fracture risk factors, fracture rates, post-fracture outcomes, and osteoporosis treatment duration. DESIGN &
settingA descriptive cohort study of care home residents aged ≥60 years (
methodThe characteristics were assessed using descriptive statistics. Fracture risk factors and fracture rates were described in both the care home and matched population. In the care home population, Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to assess osteoporosis treatment duration.
resultsAt index, fracture risk factors were more common in care home residents versus the matched cohort, including body mass index (BMI) <18.5 (12.2% versus 5.1%), history of falls (48.9% versus 30.7%), prior fracture (26.5% versus 10.8%), and prior hip fracture (17.1% versus 5.8%). Fracture rate was 43.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 39.7 to 47.5) in care home residents and 28.0 (95% CI = 26.3 to 29.9) per 1000 person-years in the matched cohort. Overall, osteoporosis treatment was initiated in 3.6% (
conclusionCare home residents had more fracture risk factors and higher fracture rates than the matched cohort; however, osteoporosis diagnosis, treatment rates, and treatment duration were low. There is an opportunity to improve osteoporosis management in this vulnerable population.
