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
Purpose: This study aims to determine the frequency of hip fractures and associated risk factors among patients receiving care at the Somalia Turkish Training and Research Hospital in Mogadishu. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study of patients treated at the Somalia Turkish Training and Research Hospital in Mogadishu was carried out. 96 of the 108 patients who were admitted met the inclusion criteria. Analyzing the medical records of individuals diagnosed with hip fractures between January and December 2023 allowed for the collection of data on demographics, hip fracture type, and medical history and also conducted follow-ups to identify other potential contributing factors that may not be available in medical records. The main conclusions have been established using descriptive statistical analysis. Results: About 8.67% of all fracture cases were hip fractures, Elderly people (60+) represented the largest group at 64.6%, followed by younger people (17-39) and Middle-aged people (40-59) at 15.6%, and children (3-16) at 4.2%. Females comprised 56.3% of cases, while males made up 43.8%. Most patients (78.1%) had low physical activity. Falls were the primary cause of fractures (83.3%), followed by other traumas (13.5%), and pathological fractures (7.3%). 32.3% of patients had comorbidities, 8.3% had a family history, and 22.9% had prior fractures. The most prevalent hip fractures (81.3%) were those of the femur neck, followed by subtrochanteric and intertrochanteric fractures (10.4% and 8.3%, respectively). Conclusion: This study emphasizes the frequency of hip fractures in Mogadishu, Somalia, as well as the significance of fall prevention, age, gender, and comorbidity treatment. We suggest comprehensive risk assessments, gender-specific bone health programs, fall prevention programs, focused prevention for the elderly, and public education campaigns to reduce the burden of hip fractures and encourage healthier people in our community by putting these measures into practice.
