Comprehensive Geriatric Care in Older Adults: Walking Ability after an Acute Fracture.
Article in Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesComprehensive Geriatric Care (CGC) is a specific multimodal treatment for older patients. In the current study, we aimed to investigate walking performance after CGC in medically ill patients versus those with fractures.
methodsThe timed up and go test (TuG), a 5-grade scale assessment (1 = no walking impairment to 5 = no walking ability at all) for evaluating individual walking ability was performed in all patients who underwent CGC prior to and after treatment. Factors associated with improvement in walking ability were analyzed in the subgroup of patients with fractures.
resultsOut of 1263 hospitalized patients, 1099 underwent CGC (median age: 83.1 years (IQR 79.0-87.8 years); 64.1% were female). Patients with fractures (
conclusionCGC improved walking ability in more than half of all patients examined. Older patients in particular might benefit from undergoing the procedure after an acute fracture. A better initial functional status favors a positive result following the treatment.
