[Elderly trauma patients with proximal femur fractures : Statistical evaluation of regular process data from a trauma center for the elderly].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsProximal femoral fractures are one of the most frequently occurring injuries among elderly people. High rates of inpatient treatment indicate the importance of optimized clinical care.
objectivesBased on selected outcome parameters in elderly trauma patients with proximal femoral fractures, the current situation of medical care in a trauma center for geriatric patients is presented.
methodsFor a descriptive evaluation of outcome parameters, 250 patients aged 70 years and older have been included. A clinical register of a trauma center for the elderly served as the database.
resultsThe average length of stay was approximately 25 days. Sixty-seven percent of the patients underwent surgical treatment within 24 h of admission to the hospital. More than half of the patients were taking anticoagulant drugs. Around 18 % of patients presented with one or more complications. Mortality rate was 5.2 %. Thirty-two percent of those patients who had been living at home before admission had been discharged to a nursing home. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsAnalyzing the data of a trauma registry enables critical reflection upon the clinical outcome of interdisciplinary treatment procedures. The low rate of mortality may be a result of the geriatric co-treatment, starting right from admission. It remains unclear whether the influence of preoperative interdisciplinary treatment outweighs the effect of a timely surgical procedure.
