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

The aim of this study is to determine the critical time intervals and influencing covariates for in-hospital mortality in geriatric trauma and orthopedic patients. During a period of five years, we retrospectively review patients aged > 60 years who were hospitalized at the Department of Trauma, Orthopedic, and Plastic Surgery. The primary outcome is the mean time to death. Survival analysis is performed using an accelerated failure time model. A total of 5388 patients are included in the analysis. Two-thirds underwent surgery (n = 3497, 65%) and one-third were conservatively treated (n = 1891, 35%). The in-hospital mortality rate is 3.1% (n = 168; surgery, n = 112; conservative, n = 56). The mean time to death is 23.3 days (±18.8) after admission in the surgery group and 11.3 days (±12.5) in the conservative treatment group. The greatest accelerating effect on mortality is found in the intensive care unit (16.52,
