Temporal Trends in Hip Fractures: How Has Time-to-Surgery Changed?
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSurgical fixation of hip fractures within 24-48 hours of hospital presentation is associated with decreased rates of postoperative morbidity and death, and recently, hospitals nationwide have implemented strategies to expedite surgery. Our aim was to describe how time-to-surgery and short-term complication rates have changed using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2011 to 2017.
methodsWe identified more than 73,000 patients aged ≥65 years who underwent surgical fixation. Poisson regression adjusting for comorbidities, surgery type, type of anesthesia, patient sex, and patient age was performed to quantify annual changes in time-to-surgery. Annual changes in 30-day postoperative complications were analyzed using a generalized linear model with binomial distribution.
resultsA significant decrease in time-to-surgery was observed during the study period (mean 30 hours in 2011 versus 26 hours in 2017;
conclusionFrom 2011 to 2017, time-to-surgery for hip fracture decreased significantly, as did short-term postoperative rates of all-cause complications and death. Longer time-to-surgery was associated with increased number of complications.
