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

introductionThis study compared the 2020 incidence of fragility fractures in Sado City with those from 2004 to 2015. MATERIALS AND

methodsData from patients aged ≥ 60 years living in Sado City with fragility fractures in the hip, vertebral, distal radius, and proximal humerus between January 1 and December 31, 2020, were collected. We examined the number and incidence of four types of osteoporotic fractures in the older population aged ≥ 60 years living in Sado City in 2020. We compared the results with those of the 2004, 2010, and 2015 surveys, examining the temporal change and trend in the incidence of the four fracture types in this population. We investigated the use rate of anti-osteoporotic medications and the relationship between their administration and the occurrence of fragility fractures.

resultsThe age-specific incidence of hip fractures slightly decreased from 2015. However, the incidence of the other three fractures slightly increased, although the difference was not statistically significant. The incidence of hip fractures markedly increased in the 80 s. In 2020, the percentage of patients taking anti-osteoporotic agents before the occurrence of fractures decreased to 12.4% from 14.5% in 2015; it increased from 4% in 2004 to 7.6% in 2010.

conclusionThe 2020 incidence of the four fractures did not decrease, and the percentage of patients receiving anti-osteoporotic agents did not increase. A higher frequency of osteoporosis treatment is necessary to reduce the incidence of fragility fractures. We recommend using anti-osteoporotic agents to prevent hip fractures among individuals in their mid-70 s and above.
