1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess outcomes and patient's mortality of Police General Hospital's fracture liaison service (PGH's FLS) during Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak comparing to the former period. Methods: Retrospective cohort study was performed in patients aged 50 or older who were admitted with fragility hip fracture in Police General Hospital, Bangkok, between January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 (before pandemic) comparing to January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 (pandemic) using the electronic database. The outcomes were mortality and other outcomes in one-year follow up. Results: Conclusions: The results of this study in COVID-19 pandemic period, 1-year mortality rate was significantly higher but they were not related with COVID-19 infection. We also found longer time to initial BMD testing and anti-osteoporotic medication and more loss of follow up, causing lower anti-osteoporotic medication taking. In contrast, the time to surgery became shorter during the pandemic.
