The development and implementation of a digital platform in a fracture liaison service.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The fracture liaison service in the study hospital developed and successfully implemented a digital platform to support the identification of patients while concurrently optimizing participation in the National Fracture Liaison Database. This initiative provides additional evidence of the capacity of digital health to support fracture liaison services. PURPOSE: Resourced fracture liaison services (FLSs) are accepted internationally as the preeminent means of reducing the risk of future fragility fractures. The FLS in the study hospital sought to develop and implement a digital platform to support the identification of patients and concurrently effectively participate in the National Fracture Liaison Service Database (FLS-DB) established to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs).
methodThrough linkage with the already established hospital's eTrauma digital system and Inpatient Management System, a bespoke fracture liaison digital platform was developed and introduced. Platform functionality supports automated patient identification and interoperability with the National Fracture Liaison Service Database enabling the anonymized safe transfer of key performance indicator data.
resultsThrough automated identification of patients who require fracture liaison services, rates of identification have improved from 10% in 2021 to 87%. Time previously spent manually identifying patients is now available for clinical care. Key performance indicator data are recorded as part of the assessment and treatment process and successfully anonymized and transferred to the national database.
conclusionThis initiative provides additional evidence of the capacity of digital health to support fracture liaison services. In comparable settings nationally and internationally where there are coexisting digital systems to support patient management and a national digital database for FLS key performance indicators, there is potential for the successful introduction of similar FLS digital platforms.
