Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Association with Fear of Falling After Hip Fracture.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesTo determine whether fall-related hip fracture, alone or in the presence of Fear of Falling, is likely to induce PTSD in an elderly population.
designA longitudinal prospective study of patients admitted for hip fracture.
settingEight St. Louis, Missouri, area hospitals.
participantsIndividuals aged 60 and older admitted for surgical hip fracture repair after a fall (N = 456). MEASUREMENTS: Rates of partial and full posttraumatic stress disorder (pPTSD and fPTSD) were compared with rates of FoF. PTSD and FoF were assessed 4 and 12 weeks after surgery. Baseline characteristics including depression, stress, pain, cognitive functioning, and anesthesia type were also analyzed as potential predictors of PTSD symptoms 12 weeks after surgery.
resultsNo participants met criteria for fPTSD at 4 or 12 weeks, and rates of pPTSD were low 12 weeks after surgery (7.4%), in contrast to high rates of FoF symptoms at the same time point (58.5%). Higher ratings of stress and depressive symptoms at baseline were associated with higher levels of PTSD symptoms 12 weeks after surgery.
conclusionsHip fracture, despite its considerable morbidity, does not induce fPTSD and infrequently induces pPTSD. Individuals with higher rates of stress and depressive symptoms after hip fracture repair may be more likely to develop PTSD symptoms.
