1 year mortality after hip fracture in an Irish urban trauma centre.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHip fracture accounts for a considerable burden of disease in older adults, yet there is a paucity of data pertaining to longer-term outcomes in the Irish Hip Fracture population. Understanding the factors that influence longer-term survival would allow care pathways to be refined to optimise patient outcomes. In Ireland, there is no linkage to death registration at a national or regional level, nor are longer-term outcomes captured by the Irish Hip Fracture Database. This study aimed to quantify 1-year mortality in an Irish hip fracture cohort and identify factors that influence survival at 1 year.
methodsA retrospective review of hip fracture cases in an Irish urban trauma centre over a 5-year period was conducted. Mortality status was obtained via the Inpatient Management System and correlated with the Irish Death Events Register. A range of routinely collected patient and care process variables were analysed using logistic regression.
resultsA total of 833 patients were included. Within 1 year of sustaining a hip fracture, 20.5% (171/833) had died. On multivariate analysis, female gender (OR 0.36, p < 0.001, 95% CI 0.23-0.57), independent mobility pre-fracture (OR 0.24, p < 0.001, 95% CI 0.14-0.41) and early mobilisation on the day of or after surgery (OR 0.48, p < 0.001, 95% CI 0.30-0.77) reduced the likelihood of dying within 1 year (AUC 0.78).
conclusionOf the variables examined, early postoperative mobilisation was the only modifiable factor identified that conferred a longer-term survival benefit. This underscores the importance of adhering to international best practice standards for early postoperative mobilisation.
