EPIDEMIOLOGY OF PROXIMAL FEMUR FRACTURE IN OLDER ADULTS IN A PHILANTHROPICAL HOSPITAL IN SÃO PAULO.

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: To evaluate the age and anthropometry profile of patients with a diagnosis of fracture of the proximal femur in older adults admitted to a philanthropic hospital in São Paulo. Methods: Retrospective observational cross-sectional study. All patients older than 59 years with femoral fractures diagnosed and hospitalized between January, 2019 and April, 2020 were included. The analysis of the 85 medical records resulted in the data collected in the present study. Anthropometry, age, sex, ethnicity, presence of comorbidities and mechanism of trauma of these patients were considered in this study. Most traumas, as expect, presented low energy mechanisms. Results: Prevalence of 3:1 in females, aged between 60-104 and mean of 78.5 years, with an increased risk in patients over 80 years. The body mass index (BMI) between 16.53 and 39.80 with an average of 24.16 kg/m Conclusion: Proximal femur fractures in older adults occur more often in women, with a mean age of 78.5 years, normal BMI range, whose main trauma mechanism is fall to ground level. The most prevalent injury is transtrochanteric fracture, with a mean of 70.5% and the most performed treatment is internal fixation with cephalomedullary nail, with a mean of 66.1%.
