Combined orthogeriatric care in the management of hip fractures: a prospective study.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 8 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo evaluate the efficacy of combined care between orthopaedic surgeons and geriatricians in the management of patients with fractured necks of femur. PATIENTS AND
methodsA prospective study of the admissions to a district general hospital with hip fractures was carried out over a 5-year period. In the years 1992-1994, medical problems in this patient group were managed by a consultation-only service. At the end of 1994, a consultant geriatrician was appointed to manage these patients jointly with the orthopaedic surgeons, and the study was then carried through until the end of 1996. Information about the patients from admission to discharge or death was gathered prospectively using a proforma for the 3 years prior to orthogeriatric care, and the 2 years after. Main outcome measures were mortality, length of stay and discharge destination. These were compared for the two periods--pre- and post-orthogeriatric care.
resultsNo significant differences were noted in mortality, length of stay or discharge destination.
conclusionsCombined orthogeriatric care according to our model did not have an impact on our chosen outcome measures.
