The prevalence of osteoporotic fractures in the elderly in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundPrevalence information is the first step in developing preventive procedures or health services. This study was conducted to systematically evaluate the epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures in Chinese elderly aged ≥ 60 years and to provide evidence-based evidence for the prevention and treatment of osteoporotic fractures.
methodsWe identified relevant studies by searching the literature published in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases from the establishment of the database until August 2022. We used a random-effects model to obtain prevalence estimates and identified sources of heterogeneity and comparisons of prevalence among different groups through subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis.
resultsA total of 29 articles were included in this study, and the prevalence of osteoporosis fractures in elderly Chinese was high (18.9%). The prevalence has increased significantly over the past decade (from 13.2% in 2000-2010 to 22.7% in 2012-2022). The prevalence of osteoporosis is higher in women than in men (18.5% vs 14.3%) and increases with age. The northern region was higher than the southern region (20.3% vs 18.9%), and the spine, hip, and distal forearm were the most common sites of fracture.
conclusionThe prevalence of osteoporotic fractures in the Chinese elderly is 18.9%, and timely prevention and treatment are necessary.
