Operative Trends in the Treatment of Hip Fractures and the Role of Arthroplasty.
Article in Geriatric orthopaedic surgery & rehabilitation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionThere is a projected exponential increase in the number of hip fractures in the United States. Trends in patient demographics and the role of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and its associated outcomes following hip fractures surgery have not been well studied.
methodsPatients with proximal femur fractures between 1990 and 2007 were identified in the National Hospital Discharge Survey database. Demographics, comorbidities, perioperative complications, and discharge status for patients undergoing THA, hemiarthroplasty, or internal fixation were examined. Multivariable regression was performed to determine independent risk factors for perioperative complications.
resultsBetween 1990 and 2007, there was a statistically significant increase in patient age, adverse events, medical comorbidities, surgical complications, medical complications, and nonroutine discharge across all surgical treatment modalities. In the same time period, the utilization of THA for all fracture types decreased significantly. DISCUSSION: Total hip arthroplasty was found to be an independent risk factor for perioperative complications. Orthopedic surgeons should be aware that the hip fracture population continues to get older, with more medical comorbidities and are at higher risk for perioperative complications.
conclusionTotal hip arthroplasty is associated with a higher rate of perioperative complications in the hip fracture population.
