Analysis of factors affecting the surgical efficacy for elderly intertrochanteric fracture.

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
Objective: To explore the relevant factors affecting the efficacy of surgery for intertrochanteric fracture. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 212 patients with intertrochanteric fractures from January 2021 to December 2023. The patients, comprising 100 males and 112 females aged 65-98 years old (mean age 77.8 ± 10.5 years), were categorized based on fracture healing outcomes into a normal healing group (163 cases) and an abnormal healing group (49 cases, including 2 cases of non-union). Factors such as gender, age, injury side, fracture classification, thickness of femoral lateral wall, medial support, tip-apex distance and fixation position were recorded and analyzed through Logistic regression to identify the main factors influencing fracture healing. Results: Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in AO classification, Evans-Jensen classification, medial support, tip-apex distance and main screw position between the two groups ( Conclusions: The stability of internal fixation is the most important factor affecting intertrochanteric fracture healing. The medial support, tip-apex distance ≤25 mm and the position of the screw are helpful for fracture healing and recovery of joint function.
