Cephalomedullary Nails for Isolated Subtrochanteric Femur Fractures: Age-Related Variations in Fracture Pattern and Perioperative Factors Do Not Affect Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes.

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
Introduction: There is scarce data in literature on the demographics, treatment, and outcomes of subtrochanteric femur fracture patients. This study evaluated the effect of age on injury details, perioperative and hospital parameters, and outcomes following subtrochanteric fracture fixation. Methods: An IRB-approved review of a consecutive series of subtrochanteric femoral fractures was performed. Patient charts and radiographs were examined to confirm patients were operatively treated for an AO/OTA Type 32A, B or C subtrochanteric femur fracture, as well as for demographics, injury information, perioperative details, radiographic parameters, hospital quality measures, and outcomes. Patients were divided into younger (Y) (< 65 years old) and older (O) (≥ 65 years old) cohorts. Comparative analyses were conducted between cohorts. Results: Of 205 patients, 161 (78.5%) comprised the O cohort and 44 (21.5%) the Y cohort. The O cohort represented a sicker (higher CCI and ASA), less ambulatory population. Patients in the Y cohort sustained more high-energy injuries ( Conclusion: Younger patients present with different subtrochanteric fracture patterns and discharge profiles than older patients and are treated with different implants. However, despite these differences, younger and older patients have similar radiographic and clinical outcomes. Level of Evidence: III.
