Complications following hip fracture: Results from the World Hip Trauma Evaluation cohort study.
Observational study in Injury, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
introductionHip fractures are common in people over 60 years of age, and are associated with significant disability, morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to record the incidence of complications in the first 120 days following hip fracture.
methodsThe World Hip Trauma Evaluation (WHiTE) study is a multicentre, prospective cohort study conducted in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in England and Wales. Participants are 60 years and older who received operative treatment for a hip fracture. We report the incidence of complications recorded by hospital staff until discharge from hospital and by participants at 120-days post-surgery.
resultsAn analysis of 8673 consecutive participants enrolled in the WHiTE study revealed the following risks of complications within the first 120 days: signs of wound infection (3.1%); dislocation (0.5%); failure of fixation (0.6%); peri‑prosthetic fracture (0.3%); overall revision surgery (0.9%); blood loss requiring transfusion (6.1%); chest infection (6.3%); urinary tract infection (5.0%); deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolus (1.8%); cerebrovascular accident (0.6%); acute coronary syndrome/myocardial infarction (0.6%); acute kidney injury (1.3%).
conclusionThe rates of complications reported here provide a reference range against which future studies might be assessed. Registration: ISRCTN63982700.
