The impact of prefracture and hip fracture characteristics on mortality in older persons in Brazil.

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
backgroundHip fractures in the elderly are common and associated with considerable mortality and disability. Although well known in industrialized countries, the factors associated with mortality after hip fractures are not reported frequently in developing countries and little is known regarding risk factors in Latin America. QUESTIONS/PURPOSE: We investigated the rate of 1-year mortality and prefracture and fracture characteristics associated with mortality after a hip fracture in elderly Brazilian patients in a large metropolitan area.
methodsTwo hundred forty-six persons 60 years and older admitted to four hospitals in Rio de Janeiro were included after experiencing fractures and were followed for 1 year. Data were collected on sociodemographic, health, and functional status; type of surgery; length of stay; and complications after surgery. Cox regression analyses were conducted to investigate factors associated with 1-year mortality after hip fracture.
resultsOf the 246 patients, 86 died (35%). Of those 86, 22 died in the hospital (25.6%) and 64 (74.4%) died after discharge. Functional status before fracture, older age, male gender, and higher surgical risk increased the risk of mortality, whereas the use of antibiotics and the use of physical therapy after surgery decreased the risk.
conclusionsOur mortality rate was higher than those reported from industrialized countries. The use of antibiotics and physical therapy are potentially modifiable factors to improve patients' survival after fracture in Brazil. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prognostic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of the levels of evidence.
