One-year mortality rate after fragility hip fractures and associated risk in Nan, Thailand.
Article in Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesFragility hip fracture is a common secondary complication of osteoporosis, which leads to significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence and prevalence of hip fractures have increased over recent decades. This study established an objective to determine the mortality rate and potential risk factors in fragility hip fracture patients.
methodsElectronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 1412 patients, aged 50 years and over, who sustained and received treatment for hip fractures between 2014 and 2018 were subsequently identified. Mortality rate data were retrieved from the official statistics registry for the provincial population. The mortality rates and potential risk factors for mortality were examined using Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models.
resultsThe overall 1-year mortality rate of fragility hip fracture patients was 19%. Compared with the age-matched population in Nan province, hip fractures increased the mortality rate by 6.21 times. Additionally, the mortality of hip fracture patients was significantly higher among those with age above 80 years, nonambulatory status before fracture and upon hospital discharge, end-stage renal disease, delirium, and pneumonia.
conclusionsPatients who sustained hip fractures had approximately 6 times higher mortality. Effective strategies for hip fracture prevention as well as improvement in the standard of care are crucial steps towards reducing mortality in patients with hip fracture.
