Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07582575 (Nutrition and Trauma), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
backgroundGeriatric trauma centers which are certified to the status of a Geriatic Trauma Center DGU® based on the criteria catalogue as outlined by the German Trauma Society (DGU), are required to participate in the Geriatric Trauma Register (ATR-DGU) for quality management and outcome analyses. The evaluation is pseudoanonymous and includes data on all treated hip fracture patients over 70 years old. This has been in regular use since 2016. This study analyzed the postoperative evaluation of gait, mortality, quality of life, hospital readmission and treatment of osteoporosis after 120 days.
methodsA voluntary retrospective data evaluation of the ATR-DGU 120-day follow-up from 2017 was carried out. Written consent for the analysis and publication of the data was obtained from six clinics that already participated in the follow-up. The primary target parameters were mortality rate, readmission and revision rates, gait quality, osteoporosis treatment and quality of life according to EQ-5D-3L. The patient data were completely pseudonymized and a descriptive analysis was carried out.
resultsIn this study 957 patients from the 6 hospitals were included. The average age was 84.5 years (±6.8 years). The mortality rate during the acute treatment phase was 5%. The 120-day follow-up could be evaluated in 412 patients, 10% of these required hospital readmission due to complications oft he same fracture and of these 6% required revision surgery. The mortality rate at 120 days was 12%. In 54% of the patients the fracture led to deterioration of mobility and 49% of patients received osteoporosis treatment after 120 days. The results of the EQ-5D-3L at 120 days revealed improvement as compared to the values on postoperative day 7; however, the preoperative status with respect to mobility and quality of life could not be regained.
conclusionDespite the clear advantages of interdisciplinary treatment, the results are still limited concerning mobilization and quality of life. Further analysis of causative and influencing factors is necessary.
