Sex Differences in Recovery Across Multiple Domains Among Older Adults With Hip Fracture.

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
backgroundHip fractures are a public health problem among older adults, but most research on recovery after hip fracture has been limited to females. With growing numbers of hip fractures among males, it is important to determine how recovery outcomes may differ between the sexes.
methods168 males and 171 females were enrolled within 15 days of hospitalization with follow-up visits at 2, 6, and 12 months postadmission to assess changes in disability, physical performance, cognition, depressive symptoms, body composition, and strength, and all-cause mortality. Generalized estimating equations examined whether males and females followed identical outcome recovery assessed by the change in each outcome.
resultsThe mean age at fracture was similar for males (80.4) and females (81.4), and males had more comorbidities (2.5 vs 1.6) than females. Males were significantly more likely to die over 12 months (hazard ratio 2.89, 95% confidence interval: 1.56-5.34). Changes in outcomes were significantly different between males and females for disability, gait speed, and depressive symptoms (p < .05). Both sexes improved from baseline to 6 months for these measures, but only males continued to improve between 6 and 12 months. There were baseline differences for most body composition measures and strength; however, there were no significant differences in change by sex.
conclusionsFindings confirm that males have higher mortality but suggest that male survivors have continued functional recovery over the 12 months compared to females. Research is needed to determine the underlying causes of these sex differences for developing future prognostic information and rehabilitative interventions.
