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
This study analyzed 16-year hip fracture trends in South Korea. Hip fractures increased with an aging population but plateaued after 2010. Mortality declined from 18.9 to 15.4% before rising to 18.2% on 2021. Subsequent fracture rates remained stable, underscoring the need for targeted prevention, especially during COVID-19. PURPOSE: There are no data reporting long-term trends of hip fractures over 15 years based on the national population in South Korea. This study aimed to analyze the long-term trends of hip fractures from 2006 to 2022 using a nationwide claims database.
methodsData managed by the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) were used to identify hip fractures in patients aged 50 or older. Long-term trends in the incidence, mortality rate, and subsequent fractures during this period were analyzed.
resultsThe incidence rates of hip fractures increased by 138% (from 152 to 173 per 100,000) from 2006 to 2010, then plateaued. The 1-year mortality rate decreased from 18.9% in 2006 to 15.4% in 2018 but increased to 18.2% in 2021. Lower socioeconomic groups had consistently higher incidence and mortality rates throughout the study period. The rates of subsequent fractures remained stable at 1.0-1.2% between 2006 and 2018 but decreased to 0.8-0.9% between 2019 and 2021.
conclusionsOver the past 16 years, the number of hip fractures in South Korea has continued to rise with the aging population, though the incidence rate has recently plateaued. The mortality rate has decreased over time, and the rates of subsequent fractures have remained stable, albeit with some impact during the COVID-19 period (2019-2021). These findings provide valuable insights into the 16-years epidemiological trends of hip fractures in South Korea.
