A new future for hip fracture care--orthogeriatrician lead in an 'Acute' Hip Unit.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
Although surgery is the definitive treatment for almost all hip fractures, there is evidence that outcomes such as morbidity and mortality are not determined by the type of surgery but by comorbidities and postoperative complications. A team approach, especially the involvement of an orthogeriatrician in managing medical issues, has been shown to improve surgical outcomes and should be encouraged in hospitals worldwide. An Acute Hip Unit is able to address the complex challenging needs of a frail older high-risk population soon after admission, therefore minimising delays. An orthogeriatrician-led unit can deal with the preoperative and complex postoperative medical, social, ethical, physical, and mental health issues that are associated with 'hip fracture syndrome', providing structured standardised evidence-based care by trained staff. This could be the model of care for the future.
