Functional decline in nonagenarians admitted for hip fracture.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07372092 (Surgical Geriatrics o Geriatric Surgery? Outcomes in a Novel Hospital Model of Attention. A Comparative Cohort Study.), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
objectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of nonagenarian patients admitted for hip fracture and assess whether they present differences in complications and functional outcomes at discharge compared to younger patients.
methodsProspective longitudinal study in patients over 75 years of age admitted for hip fracture over a 1-year period. A total of 542 patients were included, of which 165 patients were aged over 90 years (30.9%). Demographic variables, pre-fracture functional status, medical history, type of fracture, functional evolution, discharge destination, and mortality were collected. Differences between the two population groups were analyzed.
resultsOf the 542 patients over 75 years admitted for hip fracture, 165 were aged over 90 years (30.9%), 74.5% were women, 62% were independently ambulatory prior to the fracture, and 70% had a Barthel Index score >60. Cognitive impairment was absent in 49% of cases. Surgical treatment was performed in 91.5% of cases. There were no differences in the baseline status when compared to younger patients (aged 75-89 years) except for a higher likelihood of residing in a nursing home (OR 1.74; CI 1.18-2.55). Nonagenarian patients were at higher risk of not being able to walk at discharge (OR 2.00; CI 1.29-3.10). Discharge to a nursing home or functional recovery unit was more likely (OR 1.85; CI 1.22-2.81).
conclusionPatients over 90 years of age are more susceptible to worsening their function during admission and have a higher risk of not being able to walk at discharge. Efforts should be made to reverse this decline in order to reduce the associated mortality.
