Orthogeriatrics in the management of frail older patients with a fragility fracture.
Review in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 papers, 3 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
This review article examines the role of orthogeriatric management for frail older patients with a fragility fracture. The history of orthogeriatrics and its application in clinical practice around the world is reported, and an evidence-based evaluation for the effect of orthogeriatric management on patient morbidity and mortality is also provided. It has been more than 50 years since the role of the geriatrician in the management of patients with a hip fracture was first described. The evidence that supports an orthogeriatric model of care has grown exponentially over the last decade. This evidence base is primarily related to hip fractures and demonstrates reduced morbidity and mortality rates amongst patients managed with a recognised model of orthogeriatric care. The societal and economic burden of hip fracture has led to health economic evaluations within this field, many of which have concluded that orthogeriatric management results in cost-effective clinical practice. Based on existing clinical and economic research, national clinical practice guidelines have been developed in several countries which recommend orthogeriatric participation in the management of older patients with a hip fracture. Compliance with such guidance has already demonstrated improved patient outcomes. Although the pathogenesis and prognosis of other types of fragility fracture may be as poor, there is a dearth of clinical research that evaluates the effect of orthogeriatric management on such injuries. Looking to the future, orthogeriatric management is likely to become more widespread, and the robust collection and reporting of patient outcomes from national registries will provide a greater understanding of the impact of orthogeriatric models in the care of all frail older patients with any type of fragility fracture.
