The impact of a fracture liaison service for patients with femoral fractures on subsequent fractures and mortality: focusing on systematic literature review and metaanalysis.

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
The purpose of this study is to scientifically and systematically investigate the clinical effectiveness of a fracture liaison service (FLS) for patients with femoral fractures.
methodsThe international databases Ovid-MEDLINE, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library and the Korean databases KISS, RISS, KoreaScience, Koreamed, and Kmbase were used. Risk of bias assessment was conducted at the study design level, and meta-analysis utilized both random-effects and fixed-effects models, along with subgroup analysis.
resultsFrom the 32 selected articles, 14 articles related to subsequent fracture and 18 articles related to mortality were included in the meta-analysis. As a result of the meta-analysis, the risk of subsequent fracture in the group that participated in the fracture liaison service was 46% lower than that in the non-participated group, and this difference was statistically significant (RR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.50-0.59). The risk of death in the group that participated in the FLS was 17% lower than that in the non-participating group, and this difference was not statistically significant as well (RR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.67-1.03). As a result of subgroup analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in the reduction of subsequent fracture in the clinical outcomes, and there was a significant difference in mortality in the intervention follow-up period and clinical outcomes.
conclusionThe global implementation of FLS has played a crucial role in enhancing the clinical management and treatment of patients with femoral fractures, contributing to a decrease in subsequent fracture and mortality. This indicates the significant role of FLS in minimizing the disease burden associated with femoral fractures worldwide.
