[Proximal femoral fractures in the elderly].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Proximal femoral fractures represent an increasing major healthcare problem due to the demographic changes in this aging population and are associated with the highest mortality among fractures in elderly patients after suffering insufficiency injuries (so-called fragility fractures). The main aim in the treatment of orthogeriatric patients who suffered from a proximal femoral fracture is the preservation of function and independency. Given the high prevalence of comorbidities in these patients, interdisciplinary and interprofessional approaches are required. The use of modern osteosynthesis procedures can provide an improved, individualized surgical treatment with early full weight bearing of the affected extremity. Another aspect is the accompanying geriatric treatment which is associated with a significant reduction of perioperative and postoperative complications. In addition to acute treatment, the organization of secondary fracture prevention is a crucial pillar of treatment. This article provides an overview of the essential elements of orthogeriatric trauma surgery in elderly patients following proximal femoral fractures.
