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

Background: Chronic disease status (CDS) is common across the elderly, but the association between CDS and risks of hip or femoral fracture in this population is unknown. Objectives: This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the associations between CDS and risks of hip or femoral fractures in the elderly. Methods: The longitudinal cohort data utilized in this study were obtained from waves 1 to 9 of the European Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement (SHARE), ranging from April 2004 to April 2024. A total of 12 kinds of chronic diseases were identified and then allocated into different multimorbidity patterns, including single disease, somatic multimorbidity (SMM), cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), and neuropsychiatric multimorbidity (NPM). Sub-distribution models, cause-specific hazard models, and subgroup analysis were used to analyze the association between CDS and the risk of hip or femoral fracture. Results: A total of 24,051 eligible participants were included, of whom 913 (3.8 %) had reported an occurrence of hip or femoral fracture during follow-up. Adjusted for demographic variables in sub-distribution models, participants with hypertension (sub-distribution hazard ratio [sHR] = 1.39, 95 %CI: 1.15, 1.68) and osteoporosis (sHR = 1.53, 95 %CI: 1.18, 1.98) were shown to be associated with a higher risk of hip or femoral fracture, considering the competing effect of all-cause death; these findings remained robust in sensitivity analyses. Additionally, sociodemographic factors and lifestyle behaviors such as gender, region, education, occupation, household, alcohol consumption, and smoking modified the association between CDS and hip or femoral fracture. Conclusions: Hypertension and osteoporosis are associated with an increased risk of hip or femoral fracture in the elderly, region, education, and occupation are important factors contributing to the risk of hip or femoral fracture. Advancing disease management and integrating comprehensive care strategies would be helpful for the early prevention of hip or femoral fractures in this population.
