Quality of life of the elderly after hip fracture surgery: a case-control study.
Article in Journal of caring sciences, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
introductionHip fracture is common in the elderly. However, the quality of life of the elderly after hip fracture surgery has been largely ignored. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the quality of life of the elderly with and without history of hip fracture surgery.
methodsIn a case-control study, 70 individuals with a history of hip fracture surgery at least three months before the study (case group) were compared with 70 elderly with the same specifications except the history of hip fracture (control group). The five-dimensional instrument of Euro Qol (EQ5D) was used to collect data. Chi-square test, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and calculating the odds ratio were used for data analysis.
resultsCompared to the control group, mobility, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, health status, self-care, and level of activity were lower in patients with the history of hip fracture. The mean scores of quality of life were also significantly lower in the case group regardless of all demographic variables such as age, sex, living arrangements, income, marriage, level of education, and job.
conclusionThe chance of undesirable quality of life in patients with a history of hip fracture surgery was 9.17 times greater than the elderly without a similar history. Therefore, developing supportive systems and rehabilitation facilities may improve patients' quality of life.
