MORTALITY PREDICTOR IN ELDERLY PATIENTS AFTER PROXIMAL THIRD FEMUR FRACTURE: ANALYSIS OF 395 CASES.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 assess the risk factors associated with mortality in elderly patients with proximal femoral fractures up to one year after the fracture. Method: This was a prospective cohort study of patients aged 60 or older diagnosed with a proximal femoral fracture at a referral hospital in Belém, PA. Results: 395 patients were assessed. The risk factors age≥83 years (p<0.0010), fracture-surgery time ≥ 3 days (p=0.0034), hemoglobin < 9g/dL (p<0.027), leukocytosis (p<0.00001) and pulmonary infection (p<0.0001) were statistically significant in mortality up to 12 months after the fracture. Conclusion: It was observed that in the first year after fracture, gender, type of fracture and comorbidities were not determining factors in mortality. In this series, the mortality rate was 20.75% one year after the fracture, with pulmonary sepsis being the most frequent cause of death.
