Factors Associated With Ambulation Status and Survival One Year After Conservative Management of Hip Fracture.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeFew studies have investigated the factors associated with ambulation and survival over one year. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the factors that influence ambulation and survival rates in elderly patients who have undergone conservative management for hip fractures. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study included 74 ambulatory individuals aged 65 years or older prior to their injuries. One-year mortality and ambulatory status were assessed. Statistical comparisons of background and medical characteristics between groups of independent and non-independent walkers, as well as between survivors and mortalities, were performed using the Pearson chi-squared, Fisher exact, and Mann-Whitney U tests.
resultsThe numbers of older patients able to walk independently, those not able to walk independently, and those with mortality at one-year post-injury after conservative management of hip fractures were 13 (18.3%), 35 (49.3%), and 23 (32.4%), respectively. Independent walkers one year after conservative treatment for hip fracture were younger (p=0.04) and less likely to have cognitive impairment (p=0.04) than non-independent walkers. The proportion of individuals with cognitive impairment was found to be lower among survivors than among mortalities (p=0.0098).
conclusionCognitive decline may contribute to difficulties in walking independently and mortality at one year post-injury in this population.
