Approach to patients with hip fracture and concurrent stroke.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We report a case of a 70-year-old man who presented with concomitant hip fracture and stroke. Our patient underwent surgical correction of a hip fracture despite the increased perioperative and postoperative risks associated with an acute stroke. He achieved good functional outcome after surgery and subsequent rehabilitation. There are no clear guidelines on the factors to determine whether a patient with concomitant stroke and hip fracture is a good candidate for surgical hip repair. Furthermore, there is also no consensus on the appropriate timing of surgical repair for such patients. We postulate that factors such as functional status, comorbidities, type and severity of stroke will affect the decision to proceed with surgical repair, and that there is a benefit in advocating for surgery in appropriate patients by a multidisciplinary orthogeriatric care team.
