Predictors for falling within six months after surgery in patients with hemiarthroplasty after an acute femoral neck fracture.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
For patients who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty, usually due to a femoral neck fracture from a fall, subsequent falls can have life-threatening consequences. This study identified predictors for falling in patients from a clinical trial comparing the direct lateral and posterolateral approach. Patients were included if they participated in the APOLLO trial. This secondary analysis divided patients into 'fallers' during 6 months follow-up, 'non-fallers,' and 'unknown.' Two logistic regression analyses were conducted: one using variables collected pre-surgery and one using variables available at discharge. The outcome variable 'fallen within 6 months after hemiarthroplasty' was dichotomous. Among the patients with known fall status, 219 (48%) fell one or more times and 240 (52%) were non-fallers. Fall status was unknown for 384 (46%) of the 843 APOLLO trial participants. Falling was associated with five pre-surgery variables: impaired mobility, ADL difficulties, neurological and pulmonary comorbidities, and dementia. At discharge, falling was associated with impaired mobility, ADL difficulties, and in-hospital complications. The pre-surgery model had an R
