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

purposeTo compare femoral bone mineral density (BMD) levels in hip-fracture women with versus without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We hypothesized that BMD levels could be higher in the women with T2DM than in controls and we aimed to quantify the BMD discrepancy associated with the presence of T2DM.

methodsAt a median of 20 days after the occurrence of an original hip fracture due to fragility we measured BMD by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at the non-fractured femur.

resultsWe studied 751 women with subacute hip fracture. Femoral BMD was significantly higher in the 111 women with T2DM than in the 640 without diabetes: mean T-score between-group difference was 0.50, (95% CI from 0.30 to 0.69, P < 0.001). The association between the presence of T2DM and femoral BMD persisted after adjustment for age, body mass index, hip-fracture type, neurologic diseases, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and estimated glomerular filtration rate (P < 0.001). For a woman without versus with T2DM, the adjusted odds ratio to have a femoral BMD T-score below the threshold of - 2.5 was 2.13 (95% CI from 1.33 to 3.42, P = 0.002).

conclusionsFragility fractures of the hip occurred in women with T2DM at a femoral BMD level higher than in control women. In the clinical assessment of fracture risk, we support the adjustment based on the 0.5 BMD T-score difference between women with and without T2DM, although further data from robust longitudinal studies is needed to validate the BMD-based adjustment of fracture risk estimation.
