EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE AND WAITING TIME FOR OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF TRANSTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES.

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 evaluate the epidemiological profile and waiting time for osteosynthesis in patients admitted due to intertrochanteric fracture in a public hospital in the Federal District of Brazil. Methods: This observational, descriptive, and retrospective study involved patients over 18 years old with intertrochanteric fractures between June and December 2023. Demographic, clinical data, and information about waiting time for osteosynthesis were collected. Analyses were performed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results: The majority of patients (61.4%) were female, with a mean age of 74 years. The average time between fracture and care was 3.4 days, and from fracture to osteosynthesis was 22.7 days. The mortality rate was 6.8%, with higher prevalence in elderly women with comorbidities. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that a prolonged time between fracture and osteosynthesis is associated with worse clinical outcomes, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities. Optimizing the waiting time for surgery is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve patient recovery.
