A screening test is not enough to define the prognostic role of cognitive impairment after hip fracture: a short-term prospective study.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCognitive impairment assessed by easy-to-administer tests successfully predicts function after hip fracture, whereas the prognostic role of additional cognitive evaluations is largely unknown.
aimsTo investigate the capability of further assessments to discriminate cognitive impairment with prognostic relevance in hip-fracture women defined cognitively intact or mildly impaired on the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ).
methodsWe prospectively investigated women with subacute hip fracture admitted to our rehabilitation facility. The women who made ≤4 errors on the SPMSQ were further assessed by 4 tests: Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (immediate and delayed recall) and Frontal Assessment Battery. Activities of daily living (ADL) were measured by the Barthel index. Successful rehabilitation was defined with a Barthel index score ≥85.
resultsData from 127 women were available. Each of the 4 cognitive tests assessed at admission significantly predicted the Barthel index scores measured at discharge. The predictive role persisted after multiple adjustments. For a change in cognitive scores corresponding to the difference between 25° and 75° percentiles in their distribution in the sample, the adjusted odds ratio to achieve successful rehabilitation roughly ranged from 2 to 4, depending on which cognitive test was adopted. DISCUSSION: The women with subacute hip fracture defined cognitively intact or mildly impaired on the SPMSQ could have cognitive impairment revealed by further examination, with prognostic disadvantages in ADL.
conclusionsAssessing cognition by the SPMSQ seems not enough to exclude the presence of cognitive impairment with relevant prognostic disadvantage in hip-fracture women.
