Reduced Risk of Recurrent Fragility Fractures After a Primary Care-Based Fracture Prevention Intervention: A 20-Year Non-Randomized Controlled Follow-Up Study in Women Aged 70-100.

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
backgroundIn Sweden 70,000 people suffer fragility fractures annually, including 16,000 hip fractures with one-year mortality of up to 25%. Strategies to prevent falls, improve physical function, and enhance bone strength have shown mixed results.
aimTo evaluate the incidence of hip and other fragility fractures following a fracture prevention intervention and assess baseline risk factors for long-term fracture outcomes.
methods1,233 rural Swedish women aged 70-100 years in 2002 were followed until 2021 after a primary care-based, non-randomized graded fracture prevention intervention 2002-2004 that included physical activity, fall prevention, and pharmacological treatment tailored to hip fracture risk. Fractures were identified through radiology reports 2002-2021.
resultsThe most common fractures occurred in the hip with 236 women sustaining 268 hip fractures with highest incidence in women aged 90-94 years. One-year hip fracture mortality was 27%. Hip fractures occurred in 17.7% of the intervention group (77/434) and 19.9% of controls (159/799,
conclusionsWe noticed a non-significant reduction in hip fractures after 20 years, yet repeated fractures were less frequent in the intervention group suggesting a potential long-term benefit. Older, taller and lighter women were at greater risk for hip fracture.
