Effect of bedside health education for elderly patients with fragility fracture by specialist physicians on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis during hospitalization and the visiting rate to osteoporosis clinic after discharge in a high-volume orthopedic hospital.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We retrospectively analyzed 12,999 elderly patients with fragility fracture and found that the detection rate of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTMs), the treatment rate of osteoporosis, and the visiting rate to the osteoporosis specialist clinic after discharge are significantly enhanced in fragility fracture patients after receiving health education on osteoporosis-related knowledge during hospitalization. PURPOSE: To observe the effect of health education on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis during hospitalization and the rate of come back to osteoporosis clinic after discharge in elderly patients with fragility fracture.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 12,999 elderly patients with fragility fracture admitted to Xi'an Honghui Hospital from March 2021 to December 2022. The patients were divided into the health education group and the non-health education group according to whether they received health education on osteoporosis-related knowledge during hospitalization. The diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis during hospitalization and the outpatient treatment of osteoporosis after discharge were compared between the two groups.
resultsAmong the 7784 patients in the health education group, 4551 (58.47%) received BMD test, 798 (10.25%) received BTMs test, 3990 (51.26%) received anti-osteoporosis medications (AOMs) treatment, and 1232 (15.83%) came back to the osteoporosis specialist clinic after discharge. Among the 5215 patients in the non-health education group, 681 (13.06%) received BMD test, 6 (0.12%) received BTMs test, 2071 (39.71%) received AOMs treatment, and 440 (8.44%) came back to the osteoporosis specialist clinic within one month after discharge.
conclusionThe education of osteoporosis-related knowledge for patients with fragility fracture contribute to enhance the detection rate of BMD and BTMs and the treatment rate of osteoporosis during hospitalization, and increase the rate of coming back to the osteoporosis clinic after discharge.
