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

Background: The main objective of treating fragility hip fractures is to maximize the patients' ability to return to their basic activities of daily living (ADL) levels. This study explored prognostic factors associated with the ability to recover pre-fracture ADL levels at 1 year after fragility hip fractures. Methods: We retrospectively recruited patients admitted with fragility hip fractures between July 2016 and September 2018. Details of the following were extracted from electronic medical records: age, sex, body mass index; pre-fracture Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), Barthel index, and EuroQol-Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS) scores; pre-fracture ambulatory status; and fracture type and treatment. The primary endpoint was the ability to return to the pre-fracture ADL status at 1 year. Multivariable logistic regression analysis assessed the prognostic ability of predictors. Results: Of 405 patients, 284 (70.1%) managed to return to their pre-fracture ADL status. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the predictor with the most apparent effect size was pre-fracture EQ-VAS scores ≥ 65 (multivariable odds ratio [mOR], 12.90; Conclusions: Three prognostic factors can predict a hip fracture patient's ability to return to the pre-fracture ambulatory status at 1 year. They are the patient's CCI score, operative treatment for the hip fracture, and the pre-fracture EQ-VAS score. This information could be used to develop a clinical prediction model based on the prognostic factors.
