Seasonal variation of surgically treated distal radius fracture in Japan using inpatient database: cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between seasonal variation and distal radius fractures using diagnosis procedure combination data in Japan. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe participants were hospitalized patients who underwent surgical treatment for distal radius fracture as the primary injury at hospitals that introduced the diagnosis procedure combination system between April 2011 and March 2016. We obtained a summary table of the month of admission, region of residence, age at admission, and sex of the patients from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and evaluated it by month, region, age group, and sex.
resultsThe total number of patients for the 5 years from 2011 to 2016 was 105,025. There were 29,224 male and 75,801 female participants, with a female-to-male ratio of 2.6. The mean age was 60.2 (standard deviation, 20.8) years. Distal radius fractures occurred more frequently in the winter, especially among female individuals in eastern Japan. Female participants aged ≥ 50 years tended to have a higher incidence of distal radius fracture in winter. The incidence of distal radius fracture among male participants aged 0-19 years was higher from spring to autumn.
conclusionSurgically treated distal radius fractures occur frequently during the winter months among female individuals in eastern Japan or those aged ≥ 50 years and increase from school age to adolescence, especially in male individuals from spring to autumn. We should be aware of the high incidence of distal radius fractures in winter, especially in regions with snowfall and cold temperatures.
