Dedicated orthogeriatric service reduces hip fracture mortality.

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 fracture is a common serious injury afflicting the geriatric population and is associated with poor clinical outcomes, functional and walking disabilities and high 1-year mortality rates. A multidisciplinary approach has been shown to improve outcomes of geriatric patients with fragility fracture.
aimsWe piloted a dedicated orthogeriatric service for hip fracture patients to determine if the service facilitated a change in major patient outcomes, such as mortality, length of stay and dependency.
methodsA dedicated orthogeriatrics service for hip fracture was established as a collaborative project between the Department of Geriatric Medicine and Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at a university teaching hospital. Orthogeriatrics service data were collected prospectively on an orthogeriatric filemaker database from July 2011 to July 2012 (N = 206). Data were compared to previously recorded data (Irish Hip Fracture Database) on a cohort of hip fracture patients admitted to the same orthopaedic trauma unit from July 2009 to July 2010 (N = 248).
resultsPatients in the orthogeriatric service group experienced significant reductions in 1-year mortality (χ
conclusionsA multidisciplinary management approach to fragility fracture of the femoral neck that involves comprehensive geriatric assessment, daily medical involvement of a geriatric team and specialised follow-up assessment leads to a significant reduction in mortality and improved outcomes.
