Etiological factors and clinical outcomes in extracapsular and intracapsular hip fractures among older adults: A gender-specific analysis.
Article in PM & R : the journal of injury, function, and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundCompared to patients with intracapsular fractures (ICFs), those with extracapsular fractures (ECFs) had worse outcomes. However, most studies of risk factors for these fractures lacked relevant potential reasons, particularly nutritional status, and adjustment for confounding factors. Furthermore, less is known about their effects on clinical outcomes.
objectiveTo conduct a gender-specific analysis of community-dwelling individuals admitted with hip fractures to examine the association of clinical risk factors and health care measures.
designMonocentric cross-sectional study.
settingOrthopedic trauma department.
participantsA total of 787 women and 318 men of similar mean age (±SD): 83.1 years (±8.6) and 82.5 years (±9.0), respectively.
main outcome measuresMultivariable logistic regression analyzed risk factors including age, gender, dementia, stroke, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, prefracture mobility, alcohol consumption, American Society of Anesthesiologists grades, drug history, and nutrition status for assessing risk factors and outcomes associated with ECFs and ICFs.
resultsCompared to ICFs, for each additional year of age, women had a 3% and men 4% greater association with ECFs. Among women only, ECFs were associated with risk of malnutrition: odds ratio [OR] = 1.70 (95% CI, 1.17-2.48) or malnourishment: OR = 1.93 (95% CI, 1.06-3.52), stroke: OR = 1.85 (95% CI, 1.16-2.97), and diabetes: OR = 1.92 (95% CI, 1.21-3.06). Women with ECFs were less likely to be discharged to their own homes: OR = 0.56 (95% CI, 0.38-0.83); but more likely to be discharged to a rehabilitation unit: OR = 1.81 (95% CI, 1.21-2.71) and readmitted to hospital within 30 days of discharge ≥1 time: OR: 2.39 (95% CI, 1.27-4.50) or ≥2 times: OR = 3.48 (95% CI, 1.05-11.57): they did not differ in discharge to residential or nursing care or in-hospital mortality. Among men, there were no differences in discharge destinations or readmissions between types of fractures.
conclusionsCompared to ICFs, a greater number of risk factors associated with ECFs were identified more often in women than in men, and ECFs also have greater influences on clinical outcomes in women.
