Association between hip fracture fixation methods and bone mineral density T-value in middle-aged and elderly patients with hip fractures.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine the association of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) with bone mineral density T-value (BMDT) in middle-aged and elderly patients suffering from hip fractures.
methodsClinical data were collected from 110 patients with hip fractures who underwent internal fixation surgery between October 2020 and June 2021. Patients treated with DHS were included in the control group, and those treated with PFNA were classified into the observation group. The disparity in BMDT between the two groups was assessed. Patients were further divided into two groups based on the median BMDT at 6 months post-surgery: a high BMDT group (BMDT>-1.1 SD) and a low BMDT group (BMDT≤-1.1 SD). Factors influencing BMDT were analyzed.
resultsRepeated measures ANOVA showed that BMDT in the observation group was higher than that in the control group at 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the surgery (between-group effect:
conclusionCompared to DHS, PFNA significantly improves BMDT in middle-aged and elderly patients following hip fracture surgery, promoting better early-stage recovery. PFNA should be prioritized in clinical practice to enhance postoperative outcomes.
