Circumstances of clinical fracture events with advancing age in older men.
Article in JBMR plus, 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
To characterize fracture circumstances by age at time of fracture among community-dwelling older men, we analyzed incident clinical fractures in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men study. Participants were contacted every 4 mo to identify fractures confirmed by radiographic reports. Fractures were classified as fall- or non-fall-related and further categorized by degree of trauma: minimal (fall from ≤ standing height), moderate (fall on stairs, steps or curb), or severe (fall from > standing height) for fall-related fractures; and minimal (eg, coughing), moderate (eg, collisions with objects during normal activity without falling), or severe (eg, motor vehicle accident) for non-fall-related fractures. Of 2351 clinical fractures in 1424 men during an average follow-up of 9.9 yr, 12.7% occurred at age <75 yr, 15.7% at age 75-79 yr, 26.1% at age 80-84 yr, and 45.5% at age ≥85 yr. A total of 1891 fractures (80.4% of all fractures) were the result of a fall. The proportion of fall-related fractures steadily rose with increasing age at time of fracture, ranging from 65.8% in men <75 yr rising to 84.7% in men ≥85 yr (
