[The role of hip protectors in the prevention of hip fractures in older people].
Review in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2007. 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
Hip fractures are a serious health problem all over the world with grave consequences for the people and health systems involved. Osteoporosis and sideways falls and the force this involves in the hip area are the main cause for hip fractures. Hip protectors have been developed to prevent hip fractures, which are caused by falls. Biomechanical studies have shown their effectiveness, but compliance is low. Nevertheless, compliance can be raised by providing information on the dangers of hip fractures and the significance that hip protectors have to prevent this, as well as improving the design and mechanical properties of individual hip protectors. That is why clinical studies have produced controversial results. Future studies on hip protectors with a patient friendly design will clarify the situation. We present a review on the current situation and some future aspects.
