Site-specific bone mineral density by age strata in older women with proximal femur fractures.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 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
[Purpose] Limited research has been conducted comparing bone mineral density by anatomical site and age strata in older women following proximal femur fractures. Therefore, in this study, we examined the site-specific bone mineral density and age strata in a population of older women with proximal femur factures. [Participants and Methods] We categorized 68 older women with postoperative proximal femur fractures into three groups based on age: 65-79 years (Group I), 80-89 years (Group II), and ≥90 years (Group III). The bone mineral density of four sites (femoral neck, trochanter, intertrochanteric region, and Ward's triangle) was measured in the nonfractured femur using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. [Results] The young adult mean of the total proximal femur was significantly lower in Groups II and III than that in Group I by 13.8% and 20.8%, respectively. The young adult mean of the change rate of Ward's triangle was the highest in the four sites and significantly lower in Groups II and III than that in Group I by 24.3% and 31.6%, respectively. [Conclusion] The BMD decline in older women might be more pronounced in the anatomical regions with a higher trabecular bone proportions.
