Exercise modalities and outcome measures used in older adults after hip fracture with or without signs of cognitive impairment: a national cross-sectional e-survey of 90 out of 98 municipalities in Denmark.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 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
objectiveTo investigate rehabilitation settings, exercise modalities, and assessments provided post-discharge to older adults with hip fracture with and without signs of cognitive impairment.
designNational cross-sectional e-survey. SUBJECTS: Rehabilitation managers and development physiotherapists from all 98 Danish municipalities.
methodsInformation was collected on rehabilitation after discharge across four settings: 24-h-care, home-based care, outpatient-healthcare-centers, and nursing-home-facilities.
resultsNinety municipalities (92%) responded. About half used standardized screening tools to guide rehabilitation, but only 4% screened for cognitive impairment. Rehabilitation was typically delivered by physiotherapists 1-2 times/week, lasting 5-12 weeks, with 24-h-care and nursing-home facilities settings offering shorter but more frequent sessions. Common exercise modalities included strengthening, balance, and functional tasks, where these were more used in hip fracture than hip fracture with signs of cognitive impairment. Patient-Reported-Outcome-Measures (PROMs) were infrequently used; the Patient-Specific-Functional-Scale and Numerical-Rating-Scale were most often used. Cognitive PROMs were rarely applied, except the Montreal-Cognitive-Assessment at 24-h-care. Performance-based tests were more widely used, particularly the 30s-sit-to-stand and Timed Up&Go tests.
conclusionThe survey had a high response rate. Few municipalities used cognitive screening tests and pain scales whereas performance-based testing was more predominant. The preferred exercise modality was functional exercise, used more often for patients with hip fracture than those with hip fracture and signs of cognitive impairment.
