Prevalence of Hyponatremia in Elderly Patients with Hip Fractures: A Two-Year Study.
Article in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThis study investigated the prevalence of hyponatremia in elderly patients (≥65 years old) with hip fractures. SUBJECTS AND
methodsAll records containing clinical and laboratory data on the 334 elderly patients admitted to the San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d'Aragona Hospital of Salerno, Italy, with hip fractures during 2014 and 2015, were retrieved from the hospital database. Patients were divided into 4 groups, according to their sex and the type of hip fracture. Sodium serum concentrations were retrieved from the medical records. Hyponatremia was defined as the presence of at least 1 episode of hyponatremia during the hospital stay.
resultsOf 334 elderly patients, hyponatremia was found in 64 (19%). The prevalence of hyponatremia was 18% (28/157) for female patients with extracapsular proximal femoral fracture, 22% (17/79) for female patients with intracapsular proximal femoral fracture, 20% (12/60) for male patients with extracapsular proximal femoral fracture, and 18% (7/38) for male patients with intracapsular proximal femoral fracture.
conclusionThere was a high prevalence of hyponatremia in the elderly patients with hip fractures. Hence, serum sodium concentrations should be regularly assessed to prevent occurrence of hyponatremia.
