Factors Associated with Recovered Functionality After Hip Fracture in Non-Institutionalized Older Adults: A Case-Control Study Nested in a Cohort.

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
purposeTo identify factors associated with recovered functionality after a hip fracture in a sample of older adult patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsNested case-control study in a cohort. Older adults (60 years or older) with a hip fracture were recruited between May 2017 and October 2018. The Barthel scale was used to measure performance in activities of daily living (ADL). A questionnaire was applied to collect information about demographic, clinic, psychological and social variables, and anthropometric measurements were taken. A logistic regression model was built to analyze various factors related to recovered functionality.
resultsA total of 346 older adults with a hip fracture were studied (n=173 cases and n=173 controls); 69.4% (n=240) women and 30.6% (n=140) men. Mean age was 79.4 years (±8.7) overall; for cases, 77.4 (±7.9) years and for controls, 81.4 (±9.0). Mean schooling was 6.3 (± 4.3) years. Recovered functionality was associated with normal nutritional status (OR 4.81, 95% CI = 2.54-9.12), absence of heart disease (OR 4.08, 95% CI = 1.48-11.20), self-efficacy for ADL (OR 4.07, 95% CI = 2.15-7.72), absence of depressive symptoms (OR 2.99, 95% CI = 1.69-5.28), prior functionality (OR 2.83, 95% CI = 1.51-5.31), high socioeconomic level (OR 2.41, 95% CI = 1.24-4.65) and transcervical fracture (OR 2.34, 95% CI = 1.05-5.22).
conclusionIn older adults who have suffered a hip fracture, clinical, psychological, and demographic characteristics are associated with recovered functionality. These factors should be considered as a priority in the care of older adults who have experienced hip fractures.
