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
Femur neck fracture is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in the U.S. This study examines the long-term temporal trends in femur neck fracture-related mortality among individuals aged ≥ 65 in the United States from 1999 to 2023. A retrospective analysis of death records listing International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code S72.0 (femoral neck fracture) as the underlying cause of death was conducted using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database from 1999 to 2023. We analyzed crude and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 population. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to calculate annual percent changes and evaluate trends across various demographics and geographics in the U.S. Between 1999 and 2023, femur neck fractures caused 323,534 deaths among U.S. adults aged ≥ 65 years. The AAMR peaked at 39.6 in 2002 and declined to 22.4 in 2023. A significant drop occurred from 2002 to 2018 (annual percent change -3.00 P < .05). Males (30.81), Non-Hispanic (NH) Whites (34.35) and rural areas (41.47) showed the highest AAMR among their demographic and geographic counterparts. Further, among states, Montana (58.9) and Minnesota (58.8) had the highest cumulative AAMRs. Despite overall declines in mortality among individuals with femur neck fractures, persistent disparities by sex, race, and geography highlight the need for targeted prevention strategies.
