Management of Geriatric Ankle Fractures.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 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
purpose of reviewThis review evaluates current management options for managing ankle fractures in geriatric patients with osteoporosis. It addresses the challenges posed by compromised bone integrity and examines operative and non-operative approaches to promote early mobility and functional recovery in elderly individuals. RECENT
findingsRecent studies show that both surgical and non-surgical management can yield comparable functional outcomes, but complication profiles differ. Studies have assessed advanced fixation options such as standard and extended ORIF, hindfoot nailing, and fibular nailing, with growing interest in methods that accommodate poor bone quality and enable early weightbearing. Individualised care pathways and the need for standardisation in rehabilitation protocols are important. Personalised and multidisciplinary treatment is essential for this group of patients. No single intervention is optimal; treatment must consider patient frailty, comorbidities, and functional demands. Future research should focus on randomised controlled trials to refine surgical indications and rehabilitation strategies, improving outcomes and reducing complications.
