Projected burden of femoral fracture surgeries in Japan through 2035: a nationwide population-based modeling study.

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
purposeThis study aimed to calculate short- to mid-term projections of the number of bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedures for femoral fractures in Japan from 2025.
methodsWe conducted a nationwide population-based modeling study to predict the number of BHA and ORIF procedures to be performed for femoral fractures in Japan between 2025 and 2035. BHA and ORIF data between 2018 and 2022 were obtained from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan Open Data. Population data were sourced from the Population Census and the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research. Poisson regression models were fitted by sex and 10-year age strata (aged ≥ 40 years), with procedure year as an explanatory variable and population size as an offset.
resultsThe projected numbers of BHA in women and men are 61,799 (prediction interval [PI], 60,154-63,507) and 20,715 (PI, 19,697-21,802) in 2025, 72,545 (PI, 68,921-76,414) and 26,179 (PI, 23,770-28,894) in 2030, and 82,713 (PI, 76,127-88,804) and 31,743 (PI, 27,452-36,845) in 2035, respectively. The projected numbers of ORIF in women and men are 95,525 (PI, 93,556-97,554) and 25,545 (PI, 24,411-26,741) in 2025, 94,731 (PI, 91,031-98,653) and 26,050 (PI, 23,847-28,492) in 2030, and 91,422 (PI, 86,149-97,170) and 26,046 (PI, 22,770-29,868) in 2035, respectively.
conclusionThe projected increases in BHA and generally stable ORIF numbers with fluctuations through 2035, with more reliable short-term estimates, will inform timely healthcare planning. MINI ABSTRACT: This modeling study projected the number of femoral fracture surgeries in Japan between 2025 and 2035. The number of bipolar hemiarthroplasty procedures in Japan is projected to increase over the next decade. In contrast, the number of open reduction and internal fixation procedures is projected to remain stable, with fluctuations.
