Analysis of the Surgical Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Hip Fractures Combined with Hemiplegia.
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes in elderly (age ≥65) patients with hip fractures combined with hemiplegia and compare them with the surgical outcomes in elderly patients with hip fractures but no hemiplegia. Methods: A total of 761 elderly patients with hip fractures who were treated between January 2013 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study using a retrospective study design. The patients were divided into two groups: a hemiplegia group (77 cases, 10.1%) and a non-hemiplegia group (684 cases, 89.9%). Length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, 30-day and one-year mortalities, and one-year functional status were compared between the two groups. Results: The average length of hospital stay in the hemiplegia group (13.51 ± 10.17 days) was longer than in the non-hemiplegia group (12.60 ± 7.83 days), but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.354). The incidence of postoperative complications in patients with hemiplegia (28.6%, 22/77) was higher than in patients without hemiplegia (15.4%, 105/684), and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.003). The 30-day and one-year mortalities in the hemiplegia group were higher than in the non-hemiplegia group (30 days after surgery: 10.4%, 8/77 vs 4.5%, 31/684; one year after surgery: 29.9%, 23/77 vs 15.2%, 104/684), and the difference was statistically significant (30 days after surgery: P = 0.027; one year after surgery: P = 0.001). One year after surgery, the average activity of daily living score was 56.02 ± 9.63 in the hemiplegia group and 76.89 ± 8.40 in the non-hemiplegia group, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.000). Conclusion: Hemiplegia can increase the incidence of postoperative complications and 30-day and one-year mortalities in patients with hip fractures.
