Vitamin D deficiency and periprosthetic fractures.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 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
Background: Post-operative periprosthetic fractures (PPF) are a serious complication following total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty. As vitamin D is involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, a risk factor for PPF, it has been assumed that the incidence of vitamin D deficiency is high among patients who experience PPF. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cumulative incidence and risk of PPF within 10 years after THA or TKA in patients with vitamin D deficiency. Methods: The Research Network of TriNetX was used to perform the retrospective cohort analysis. Current Procedural Terminology, International Classification of Diseases, and RxNorm codes were used to identify patients who underwent primary THA or TKA between January 2010 and April 2021, had previous testing for serum or plasma calcidiol levels, and had at least 2 years of follow up data. Propensity score matching between patients with and without vitamin D deficiency at a 1:1 ratio was conducted. Results: A total of 15,226 patients were included. Compared to the control cohort, the vitamin D deficient cohort had a lower cumulative incidence of PPF after THA (0.60 % vs 1.68 %) and TKA (0.26 vs 0.47 %). Risk of PPF was not associated with vitamin D deficiency after THA (HR:0.69; 95 % CI:0.25-1.91; Conclusion: Incidence or risk of revision due to PPF were not associated with vitamin D deficiency.
