Epidemiological characteristics of elderly osteoporosis fractures and their association with air pollutants: a multi-center study in Hebei Province.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To investigate the population distribution characteristics of elderly osteoporosis fracture patients in Hebei Province and analyze the effects of air pollutants on elderly osteoporosis fractures, We retrospectively collected 18,933 cases of elderly osteoporosis fractures from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2022, from four hospitals in Hebei Province. The average age was 76.44 ± 7.58 years, predominantly female (13,189 patients, 69.66%). The number of hospitalized patients increased progressively from 2019 to 2022. The Distribution Lag Nonlinear Model (DLNM) showed that the cumulative lagged effects of PM2.5 and PM10 on the number of hospitalized elderly osteoporosis fracture patients exhibited a bimodal distribution, with the Relative Risk (RR) reaching its peak at a 1-day lag (PM2.5: RR = 1.032, 95% CI: 1.019, 1.045; PM10: RR = 1.022, 95% CI: 1.014, 1.029). Similarly, the cumulative lagged effect of NO
