Association between femoral cortical thickness index and hip fracture in older persons.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2026. 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
purposeThis study aimed to reevaluate a simple radiographic measurement, the cortical thickness index (CTI), using standard plain radiographs to investigate its association with the presence of hip fracture in older persons.
methodsThe study group (SG) consisted of 46 patients (35 females, 11 males) aged 65 years and older who presented to the emergency department with hip fractures. Two control groups were formed: One comprising 46 older persons aged 65 years and older (CG-G) and another of young adults aged 20-30 (CG-YA), both referred to the outpatient clinic and had available plain hip radiographs. CTI was measured for all participants by the first author. Additionally, two observers independently measured CTI to assess intraobserver and interobserver agreement.
resultsIntraobserver and interobserver agreement was almost perfect based on Cohen's kappa classification (
conclusionCTI is significantly reduced in older persons with hip fracture. As a quick and accessible measurement on standard radiographs, CTI may assist clinicians in distinguishing individuals with hip fracture from those without fracture in outpatient settings.
