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

Hip fractures in elderly patients significantly reduce independence and quality of life. Early postoperative gait performance remains poorly understood, particularly regarding differences between surgical treatments, such as proximal femur nailing and hemiarthroplasty. Identifying gait alterations early in rehabilitation could optimize clinical interventions. This prospective observational cohort study included 40 elderly patients hospitalized after acute hip fracture surgery. Relative peak force and step duration were assessed using the ambulant pressure biofeedback system during postoperative mobilization. Additionally, three-dimensional gait analysis evaluated spatiotemporal parameters and sagittal plane kinematics of the hip, knee, and ankle. Results demonstrated significant improvements in median peak force (45.32% to 70.00%, (
