Incidence, surgical management, and in-hospital mortality of osteoporotic hip fractures in Chile, 2001-2019.

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
A population study to understand the characteristics of osteoporotic (OP) hip fractures in Chile. Incidence has decreased slightly over time, but absolute numbers are increasing. A low rate of surgery stands out with higher in-hospital mortality among men and those not treated surgically. Management improvements are required.
introductionOsteoporotic hip fractures are prevalent among older adults, particularly women, and are associated with significant morbidity andmortality. PURPOSE: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics, surgeries, and in-hospital case fatality rates (CFR) of patients aged ≥ 50 years hospitalized for OP fractures in Chile.
methodsA retrospective, population-based study utilizing national hospital discharge data for individuals aged ≥ 50 years diagnosed with hip fractures.
resultsOver the 19 years studied (2001-2019), there were 119,145 discharges for OP fractures (89,502 women/29,643 men). The age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 population were 181.8 for women and 92.6 for men. Incidence increased markedly with age, being 110 times higher in women and 35 times higher in men aged ≥ 80 years compared to those aged 50-54 years. The female-to-male incidence ratio was 2:1. Of all the patients, 66.1% underwent surgery during hospitalization. The overall in-hospital CFR was 2.54%, higher in men (2.93%) than in women (2.41%), and increased with advancing age.
conclusionsThis is the largest study in Chile using event data of the general population aged 50 years and older. Chile exhibits an intermediate incidence of OP fractures compared to other countries, with absolute numbers rising over time. Despite only 2/3 of the patients undergoing surgery, the overall in-hospital CFR was rather low. These findings underscore the need for enhanced strategies to ensure timely and effective care for this growing patient population.
