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

objectivesTo evaluate survival after osteoporotic fractures of the upper femur and determine its associated factors.

methodsCross-sectional study of patients hospitalized for fractures of the upper end of the femur during 2020 at Monastir University Hospital. Outcome was determined up to 2 years. The Kaplan-Meier curve is used for survival analysis.

resultsEighty one patients with mean age of 77.46 ± 17,36 years and a sex ratio of 0.61 were evaluated. The femoral neck fracture was observed in54% of cases. Overall survival was 84.6% at 6 months, 75.4% at 1 year and 63.4% at 2 years. Median survival was 30 months. Patients older than 75 years had a shorter survival (68% versus 83% at one year and 55% versus 72% at 2 years ; p < 10-3).

conclusionThe osteoporotic fracture of the upper femur is serious due to its severe outcome. One-year mortality was aboutt 25%. Increased mortality was associated to elderly population.
