1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Studies on the association between physical activity and hip fractures are reviewed. All the studies, which comprise four follow-up studies, one nested case-control study and 17 case-control studies, suggest a protective effect of physical activity with regard to hip fractures. The association is strong and consistent with physical activity in leisure, weaker with respect to physical activity at work. The association is present for physical activity from childhood to adult age, and it is consistent in study populations from the USA, Australia, Asia and Northern and Southern Europe, in spite of very different hip fractures incidences in these populations. The magnitude of the association is difficult to assess because of varying criteria for exposure, but to be among the physically active seems to reduce the risk of later hip fracture by up to 50%. It seems that even daily chores, such as climbing stairs and walking, protect against hip fracture.
