Influence of age and place of fall on the risk of hip fracture in older adults.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 older adults are a significant health issue, linked to high mortality, disability, and socioeconomic costs. This study examined the effects of age and place of injury on hip fractures from falls in older adults using data from the Emergency Department-based Injury In-Depth Surveillance (EDIIS) database in South Korea. Patients aged 65 years or older who visited 23 emergency departments from 2011 to 2020 were included. Among 170,095 older adults who visited the ED after a fall, the percentage diagnosed with a hip fracture increased with age, with the highest percentage observed in those aged 85 and older. Hip fractures were more common in women than in men across all age groups. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) showed higher fracture risks with age: 2.45 (95% CI, 2.37-2.53) for ages 75 to 84 and 4.24 (95% CI, 4.09-4.40) for those aged 85 years and older. The odds of experiencing a hip fracture were highest in medical facilities (aOR 1.6, 95% CI, 1.51-1.70), followed by nursing homes (aOR 1.21, 95% CI, 1.11-1.30), compared to homes. Findings suggest the importance of prioritizing fall-prevention programs in settings such as nursing homes and medical facilities, where hip fractures were more commonly observed.
