Mortality Predictors in Covid-19 Positive Patients with Fractures: A Systematic Review.
Review in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05133648 (Association of Anesthesia Technique With Morbidity and Mortality in Patients With COVID-19 and Surgery for Hip Fracture), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo analyze the factors associated with mortality in fracture patients with concomitant COVID-19 infection based on the available published data.
methodsKeywords such as "fracture" and "COVID or COVID-19" were searched through three major databases includes PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Selection criteria were all published reports providing the mortality related information of COVID-19 positive fracture patients. Published papers containing mortality data of COVID-19 positive fracture patients were considered for qualitative review. For meta-analysis, the presenting individual's data were considered to study the different parameters association with mortality.
resultsThe rate of mean mortality in COVID-19 positive fracture patients was 34%, and 91.7% of patients had hip fractures. Older age and hip fractures had a significant association with higher mortality rates in COVID-19 positive fracture patients.
conclusionThe mortality rates are considerably higher in COVID-19 positive patients with fractures compared to COVID-19 positive patients without fractures and to the COVID-19 negative fracture patients. Early surgical intervention should be preferred in hip fractures among COVID-19 positive patients for general stabilization and improved respiratory function. Older age and hip fractures are the main predictors of mortality in these patients.
