Co-morbidities in Patients with a Hip Fracture.
Article in The Ulster medical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Hip fractures usually occur in elderly patients who commonly have pre-existing medical problems or comorbidities. We retrospectively reviewed 100 patients admitted to our unit with a hip fracture to quantify their medical complexity. Age and comorbidity profile were used to determine an age-adjusted Charlson Co-morbidity Index (ACCI). The findings were then compared to 100 patients admitted under the care of the acute medical team. The patients in the fracture group were significantly older (p<0.0001), had significantly more co-morbidities (p<0.0001) and had a significantly greater predicted one-year mortality (p<0.0001). Cardiorespiratory disorders were the most common co-morbidities in the hip fracture group. We discuss our findings in combination with a review of the pertinent literature.
