Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and mortality following hip fracture: a population-based cohort study.
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers, 2 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
introductionMortality rates after hip fracture have not declined in 20 years. We assessed the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on mortality after hip fracture, and compared mortality in this cohort to persons without hip fracture in a population-based prospective cohort study.
methodsUsing Danish health care registries, we identified persons >or=40 years old with first-time hospitalization for hip fracture between 1/1/1998 and 1/31/2003. Hospitalization for COPD was assessed from hospital discharge registries. Using Cox regression, we computed relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for mortality endpoints among persons with COPD compared to persons without COPD. Mortality following hip fracture was also compared to age and gender matched controls without hip fracture.
resultsWe identified 11, 985 persons with first-time hospitalization for hip fracture; 771 (6.4%) had a diagnosis of COPD. Average follow up was 22 months. Compared to persons without COPD, mortality following hip fracture in persons with COPD was RR=1.58 (95% CI 1.30-1.90) at 30 days, RR=1.52 (95% CI 1.30-1.77) at 90-days, RR=1.58 (95% CI 1.40-1.78) at 1 year, and RR=1.71 (95% CI 1.55-1.88) overall. The 1-year mortality in persons with hip fracture and COPD was approximately 3-5 times greater than in controls without hip fracture.
conclusionsIn this cohort, persons with COPD have a 60-70% higher risk of death following hip fracture than those without COPD. In addition, hip fracture and COPD increased 1-year mortality 3-5 times that of persons without hip fracture.
