Orthopaedic emergencies - associations between race, gender, insurance type, and hospital admission.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 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
purposeFor many, the emergency department (ED) serves as a critical entry point into the healthcare system. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether race, ethnicity, gender, or insurance were associated with hospital admission from the ED in the setting of an orthopaedic emergency.
methodsThis retrospective cohort analysis included all patients who presented to the ED with an orthopaedic emergency during a one-year period. Injury data were collected from an internal database of orthopaedic consultations. Injury verification, as well as admission status, race, ethnicity, age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and type of insurance were extracted from the medical record.
resultsA total of 4328 patients were included. On univariate analysis, older patients (mean age 58, rather than 52, P < 0.01), White as compared to Black (P < 0.01), and ethnically non-Hispanic patients (P < 0.01) were significantly more likely to be admitted to the hospital. On multivariate analysis that controlled for type of orthopaedic injury, White race, Medicaid or no insurance, and older age were significantly predictive of orthopaedic admission (all P < 0.05). On marginal analysis that accounted for type of orthopaedic injury, a White, male patient was noted to have a 10% higher probability of admission (49%, P > 0.01) following orthopaedic evaluation than a Black, female patient (39%, P > 0.01).
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that even accounting for type of orthopaedic injury, race, age, and insurance are independently associated with hospital admission in the setting of orthopaedic emergencies.
