The correlation between proximal femur fracture and bone mineral density in the elderly.
Article in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
ObjectiveThe prevention and clinical management of fractures in the elderly have always been challenging issues in orthopedic practice. This study aims to explore the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and the types of proximal femoral fractures in elderly patients.MethodsThis study is a retrospective study. It included 876 patients with proximal femoral fractures (446 with femoral neck fractures and 430 with trochanteric fractures) who were admitted to the Affiliated Central Hospital of Shenyang Medical College between 1 January 2020 and 1 January 2023. The study compares the differences in BMD between the trochanteric fracture group and the femoral neck fracture group.ResultsThe trochanteric fracture group had significantly lower average lumbar spine BMD and total BMD of both femoral heads compared to the femoral neck fracture group. In both groups, the BMD of the affected femoral head was higher than that of the healthy femoral head. The average BMD of the affected femoral head was higher than that of the healthy femoral head in all patients (
