Long-Term Trends of Distal Radius Fractures in Adults Aged ≥ 50 Years in Korea Using Nationwide Claims Database (2006-2022).
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2026. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the long-term trends in the incidence, mortality, and subsequent fractures following distal radius fractures among South Koreans aged ≥ 50 years based on a nationwide claims database from 2006 to 2022.
methodsUsing the National Health Insurance database, we identified individuals aged ≥ 50 years who received treatment for distal radius fractures from 2006 to 2022. Distal radius fractures were defined using diagnostic codes (S525 and S526) and treatment codes (N1601, N1611, N1603, N1613, N0996, N0998, N0983, N0643). Annual incidence rates, 1-year mortality rates, and rates of subsequent fractures were estimated after adjustment for age and sex.
resultsOver the 16-year study period, the total number of distal radius fractures increased steadily (from 51,152 cases in 2006 to 100,729 in 2022). The incidence rate increased slightly from 426 per 100,000 in 2006 to 442 per 100,000 in 2022. The 1-year mortality rates after a distal radius fracture declined from 2.73% in 2006 to 1.79% in 2021 (incidence rate ratio per year, 0.985;
conclusionThe long-term trends in this study-an increased number and incidence rate but decreased mortality after distal radius fractures in South Korea-highlight the need to initiate preventive strategies for subsequent osteoporotic fractures to reduce the associated socioeconomic burden.
