1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 30-day mortality rate after hip fracture surgery has been considered as an indirect indicator of the quality of care. This work aims to appraise the Barthel Index, Katz Index, Lawton-Brody Index, and Physical Red Cross Scale registered in the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment at admission on the of 30-day death probability after hip fracture surgery.

methodsProspective study including 899 hip fracture patients over 65. Bed-ridden, non-surgically treated patients, and high energy trauma or tumoral etiology fractures were excluded. Variables distribution were assessed by χ

resultsWe noted a 30-day mortality rate of 5.9%. We related Barthel Index (OR=0.986 [0.975-0.996], p=0.010), Katz Index (OR=1.254 [1.089-1.444], p=0.002), Lawton-Brody Index (OR=0.885 [0.788-0.992], p=0.037), and Physical Red Cross Scale (OR=1.483 [1.094-2.011], p=0.011) with the 30-day mortality of patients after hip fracture surgery. We also validated the Barthel Index inflection point (0-55) (OR

conclusionThe geriatric functional status scores would be useful multifunctional and standalone tools in the assessment of hip fracture patients as singly predictors of 30-day mortality.
