Factors associated with prolonged wound drainage after hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures in elderly.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the incidence of prolonged wound drainage (PWD) and the amount of drainage fluid after hip hemiarthroplasty (HA) and to investigate the risk factors for the development of PWD associated with the patient, fracture and surgical treatment.
methodsData from 313 patients who underwent HA were prospectively analysed. The mean drainage time and drainage amount of patients with PWD were calculated. Patient demographic data, pre-operative ASA scores and anticoagulation status, presence of diabetes, fracture type, surgical approach, femoral stem type, cable usage, amount of drain output, blood transfusion quantity, time from injury to surgery, time from surgery to discharge and patient blood tests were investigated.
resultsThe incidence of PWD after HA was 8.9% (28 patients). The mean drainage time in patients with PWD was 4.9 ± 1.85 (3-9) days, and the mean collected total fluid volume was 51.1 ± 26.9 (21-132) mL. PWD was more commonly observed in the lateral approach group (p < 0.001) and morbidly obese patients (p < 0.001). In the PWD group, the mean post-operative first-day haemoglobin value was lower (p < 0.001), more blood transfusions were required (p < 0.001) and the amount of drainage output from the closed suction drain (CSD) was higher (p < 0.001). The duration of hospitalization was longer in patients with PWD (p < 0.001). Lateral approach, morbid obesity and increased drainage output were found to be associated with PWD in logistic regression analysis.
conclusionLateral approach, morbid obesity and increased drainage output were found to be risk factors for the occurrence of PWD.
