Factors increasing mortality of the elderly following hip fracture surgery: role of body mass index, age, and smoking.

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
objectivesHip fracture is one of the most common public health problems with a significant financial burden on the patient and on the healthcare system. This study was conducted to assess the 3-month and 1-year mortality rates of patients with operated hip fractures and to determine the influence of predictors of mortality.
methodsIn this prospective cross-sectional study, all admitted patients aged more than 50 years with hip fracture at Chamran Hospital from January 2008 to August 2013 were enrolled. The characteristic data obtained included demographic information, body mass index (BMI), smoking, any previous history of osteoporotic fracture, and comorbidities. In addition, the mechanism of fracture, fracture type, and treatment method were recorded. A follow-up with the patients was conducted at 3 months and 1 year through a telephonic interview to ask about possible mortalities. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 17.0 for Windows.
resultsA total of 1015 patients aged 50 years and older with hip fracture underwent surgery. Only 724 patients (71.3 %) completed the survey and the 1-year follow-up interview. The mean age was 75.7 ± 10.6 years. Overall, the 3-month and 1-year mortality rates were 14.5 and 22.4 %, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis recognized age (OR 1.08; 95 % CI 1.05, 1.11, p < 0.001), BMI (OR 0.88; 95 % CI 0.82, 0.96, p = 0.003), and smoking (OR 1.76; 95 % CI 1.05, 2.96, p = 0.03) as major independent risk factors for mortality.
conclusionIt is clear that modifiable factors like quitting the habit of smoking and gaining more energy with better nutrition could reduce the mortality rate if hip fracture occurs in the elderly.
