1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundData on the treatment of hip fractures in acute care settings have been collected in a report card system for quality assurance in Germany since the beginning of the 1990s. However, there are no data on the long-term outcome and long-term quality of care. MATERIAL AND

methodIn a retrospective study, data on 1393 patients from 1999 were collected from different sources: from the department of quality assurance at the medical association of Westfalia-Lippe, the Statutory Health Insurance Funds (AOK), and the Medical Review Board of the Statutory Health Insurance Funds (Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenkasse, MDK). Statistical analyses were performed by the Center for Clinical Studies of the University of Düsseldorf.

resultsUni- and multivariate analyses reveal the following prognostic parameters for survival after hip fracture: sex, age, nursing care dependency, living in a nursing home, risk stratification according to ASA, and postoperative complications. Timing of the operation had no affect on survival.

conclusionsPrognostic factors for the outcome after hip fracture can only be obtained by analyzing data from the hospital stay and the post-hospital setting as well. Chances of survival can be significantly improved by rehabilitative care.
