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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis on inpatient outcomes of geriatric hip fracture surgery. MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing population-based retrospective study design, this study extracted data from the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database 2005-2014, identifying patients aged ≥ 65 years undergoing hip fracture repair. Main outcomes were in-hospital mortality, any/specific complications, non-routine discharge, extended length of stay (LOS) and hospital costs. Associations between cirrhosis, non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease and outcomes were determined using regression analysis.

resultsData of 347,363 hip fracture patients included 344,035 without liver disease, 1257 with non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease and 2,071 with cirrhosis. After adjustments, non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease was significantly associated with non-routine discharge (OR: 1.247, 95% CI: 1.038-1.498), acute kidney injury (OR: 1.266, 95% CI: 1.039-1.541), extended LOS (OR: 1.285, 95% CI: 1.122-1.473) and hospital costs (beta: 9173.42, 95% CI: 6925.9-11,420.95) compared to no liver disease; while cirrhosis was significantly associated with higher risk of in-hospital mortality (OR: 2.325, 95% CI: 1.849-2.922), any complication (OR: 1.295, 95% CI: 1.143-1.467), acute kidney injury (OR: 1.242, 95% CI: 1.177-1.433), non-routine discharge (OR: 1.650, 95% CI: 1.412-1.928), extended LOS (OR: 1.405, 95% CI: 1.263-1.562) and hospital costs (beta: 6680.24, 95% CI: 4921.53-8438.95) compared to no liver disease.

conclusionIn geriatric hip fracture patients undergoing surgical repair, non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease and cirrhosis independently predict non-routine discharge, acute kidney injury, prolonged LOS and greater hospital costs, and cirrhosis is also significantly associated with greater risk of any complication and in-hospital mortality.
