Which Patients in the FLS Should Be Prioritised for a DXA Scan Within 12 Weeks?
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. 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
At Stavanger University Hospital (SUH), patients aged 50 years and above with a fracture after a fall are included in our Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) at the orthopaedic department, due to their high imminent fracture risk. The FLS at SUH keeps a quality registry, including index fractures, fall from standing/walking, preventive factors, Dual Absorptiometry X-ray (DXA) results and treatment status, in addition to risk factors such as chronic diseases. As in many other hospitals and countries, the capacity of the DXA scanner at SUH does not meet the needs of the ageing population. As such, FLS patients should be prioritised for DXA scanning according to their need for anti-osteoporotic treatment. The aims of this study were (1) to identify whether any risk factors are more strongly associated with osteoporosis than others, and (2) to use this information as a tool to prioritise patients for which the decision to initiate anti-osteoporotic treatment should be assessed by a DXA scan.
