Mortality rates and risk factors after low-trauma hip fracture in the largest university center in Romania.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
We calculated in-hospital, 30-day, and 1-year mortality rates and analyzed potential mortality risk factors in 2742 patients with low-trauma hip fractures. We found a high mortality rate at 30 days and 1 year after hip fracture. The high mortality can be explained by a very high number of conservatively treated fractures. PURPOSE: Data on mortality after low-trauma hip fracture in Romania is scarce and comes from a single-hospital study. Our aim was to calculate mortality rates and risk factors in all patients admitted for low-trauma hip fracture in the largest university medical center of Romania.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the charts of all patients (>40 years old) admitted for hip fracture in a 12-month period in hospitals with an Orthopedic Department in Bucharest, Romania, and surrounding Ilfov County and calculated the crude in-hospital, 30-day, and 1-year mortality rates after low-trauma hip fractures. A number of potential clinical risk factors for mortality were evaluated.
resultsWe analyzed 2742 low-trauma hip fractures. The in-hospital, 30-day, and 1-year all-cause mortality rates were 4.26% (n=117), 9.59% (n=263), and 29.72% (n=815) respectively. Four hundred and fifty (16.41%) fractures were managed conservatively with a 1-year mortality HR of 3.05 (p<0.001) compared to surgically treated fractures. The 1-year mortality rate in conservatively treated fractures was 56.44% compared to 24.47% in surgically treated fractures. Age, male sex, length of stay in hospital, day of surgery, post-surgical complications, and late surgery were significantly associated (p<0.001) with mortality after hip fracture. The lowest 1-year mortality rate was in surgically treated patients with a length of stay in hospital between 6 and 10 days.
conclusionWe found a high mortality rate at 30 days and 1 year after low-trauma hip fracture. The high mortality rates can be attributable, in part, to the high number of conservatively treated fractures.
