Proof-of-concept study for a national geriatric hip fracture registry in Brazil.
Article in Patient safety in surgery, 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
backgroundHip fractures in older adults are associated with high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Their incidence is rising with population aging, yet Brazil still lacks a unified national registry to systematically monitor these cases.
methodsWe developed a consensus-based registry protocol based on a review of national and international literature on hip fracture registries, in conjunction with alignment to the Fragility Fracture Network Minimum Common Dataset (MCD), and multidisciplinary expert consensus, adapted to the Brazilian healthcare context. REGISTRY
designThe main outcome of this work is the development of a structured national hip fracture registry protocol for older adults in Brazil. Based on literature review, international registry models, and expert consensus, a standardized and tiered dataset aligned with the Fragility Fracture Network Minimum Common Dataset was developed, together with operational definitions of key variables and indicators and a national governance and implementation framework. The unified dataset presented in the HFR-Brazil – Minimum Common Dataset (FFN-aligned) – Unified Table constitutes the main outcome of this study.
conclusionsImplementing a national hip-fracture registry in Brazil is a strategic priority to improve orthogeriatric care, reduce morbidity and mortality, and align national practices with international standards. The protocol provides a pragmatic, evidence-based roadmap for nationwide adoption and for future publications reporting objective outcomes once data collection begins.
