Effectiveness of a Home-Based Fragility Fracture Integrated Rehabilitation Management (FIRM) Program in Patients Surgically Treated for Hip Fractures.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a home-based fragility fracture integrated rehabilitation management (H-FIRM) program following an inpatient FIRM (I-FIRM) program in patients surgically treated for hip fracture.
methodsThis nonrandomized controlled trial included 32 patients who underwent hip surgery for a fragility hip fracture. The patients were divided into two groups: a prospective intervention group (
resultsBoth groups showed significant and clinically meaningful improvements in functional outcomes over time. Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed clinically meaningful improvements in Koval's grade, FAC, FIM locomotion, MRMI, 4MWT, and K-MBI from baseline to three months.
conclusionH-FIRM may be an effective intervention for improving functional outcomes in older people after fragility hip fractures.
