A novel indicator for predicting functional recovery in elderly hip fracture patients.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The inflammatory response following hip fracture significantly influences postoperative functional recovery in patients. However, to date, no inflammatory index has been identified as a reliable and accurate predictor of functional recovery, especially in elderly patients with hip fractures. This study introduces and evaluates a novel inflammatory marker, the lymphocyte ratio-calcium index (LRCa Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 111 elderly patients (≥65 years) who underwent hip fracture surgery, and their demographic and laboratory data were analyzed. Patients were classified into good or poor recovery groups based on the Harris hip score (HHS) 1 year postoperatively. LRCa Results: ROC curve analysis revealed that, compared with the SII (AUC: 0.601), the SIRI (AUC: 0.61), the AISI (AUC: 0.577), and the MLR (AUC: 0.626) had superior predictive performance. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the LRCa Conclusion: LRCa
