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

Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought an unprecedented change in wellbeing globally. The spread of the pandemic reportedly reduced the incidence of activity-related trauma, while that of fragility fractures remained stable. Here, we aimed to identify the risk factors associated with the prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 negative elderly patients with hip fractures. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included elderly patients with hip fractures between 1st January and 9th May during the COVID-19 pandemic (Experiment group) and the same period from 2017 to 2019 (Control group). Perioperative mortality, complications, and functional recovery were compared between two groups of different time frame in the total cohort and patients who received surgical treatment. Multiple linear regression was carried out to identify the risk factors influencing the prognosis of COVID-negative elderly patients with hip fractures. Results: The proportion of patients with admission time less than 24 hours and the 6-month postoperative Parker score were significantly decreased during COVID-19 compared with the pre-COVID-19 period (p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression demonstrated that TTA (defined as time from injury to admission), rehabilitation after discharge and outpatient follow-up were associated with the 6-month Parker score in the total population (p < 0.001) and in patients who received surgical treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Elderly patients with hip fractures had a poorer prognosis in epidemic period despite being COVID-19 negative. Factors including timely admission, postoperative follow-up, and rehabilitation could optimize safety and significantly improve the prognosis of elderly COVID-19 negative patients with hip fractures, even during a pandemic.
