Prognostic factors for discharge to home and residing at home 12 months after hip fracture: an Anoia hip study.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2020. 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
objectivesHip fracture is often associated with loss of physical function and institutionalization. The aim of this study is to describe the prognostic factors for discharge to home and residing there 12 months after a hip fracture.
methodsA prospective study that includes patients aged ≥ 69 years that live at home before the fracture, admitted from June 1st, 2010, to May 31st, 2013. We registered the demographic data, presurgical function and cognitive assessment, surgical waiting time, type of fracture and complications during hospitalization.
resultsWe included 273 patients (mean age 84.8 ± 6.1 years; 80% women), 130 (47.6%) were discharged directly to their own home. The predictors of discharge to home were a lower Geriatrics Dementia Scale score (OR 1.42; 95% CI 1.17-1.71; p < 0.001), a higher Barthel Index score at discharge (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.05-1.10; p < 0.001) and a longer hospital stay (OR 1.14; 95% CI 1.02-1.27; p = 0.019). At 12 months, 169 (63.5%) were still residing at home. Predictors of residing at home 12 months after the hip fracture were age (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.02-1.12; p = 0.010), the discharge Barthel Index score (OR 0.96; 95% CI 0.94-0.98; p < 0.001), the Geriatrics Dementia Scale score (OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.05-1.52; p = 0.013), the surgical waiting time (OR 3.42; 95% CI 1.077-10.89; p = 0.037) and Charlson comorbidity index (OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.05-1.55; p = 0.016).
conclusionPrognostic factors for discharging to home and remaining there 12 months after a hip fracture are those that reflect a better health condition prior to the fracture and better functionality at the hospital discharge for hip fracture.
