1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo study the adherence of an Early Inpatient Exercise Program in patients with acute hip fracture, identify variables associated with its performance, and its association to one-year survival.

methodsObservational longitudinal study of a cohort of 509 patients, admitted consecutively with a hip fracture in La Paz University Hospital (Madrid, Spain). Data included sociodemographic variables, pre-fracture physical functioning, cognitive impairment, comorbidities, measure of exercise adherence (pre-surgery exercise, post-surgery exercise, and rehabilitation sessions) and vital status at follow-up. One year after the fracture, either patients or relatives were contacted by telephone to ascertain their vital status. Data were analyzed using logistic regressions and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression.

resultsThree quarters of patients (76.0%) were able to comply with the Early Inpatient Exercise Program. Factors associated with adherence were: living at home (Odds Ratio (OR)=3.39; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 2.03, 5.64), absence of pre-fracture disability (OR=3.78; 95% CI: 2.21, 6.47), absence of pre-fracture cognitive impairment (OR=2.36; 95% CI: 1.36, 4.07) and comorbidities (OR=1.66; 95% CI: 1.03, 2.67). Early Inpatient Exercise Program adherence was associated with one-year survival (HR=1.62; 95% CI: 1.06, 2.49).

conclusionsThe adherence with an Early Inpatient Exercise Program is high and is associated with 1-year survival. It is important to make a stronger effort to encourage participation in Early Inpatient Exercise Program in the 24% currently non-compliant, and in those with cognitive and physical impairments.
