Factors Affecting Outcome of Proximal Femoral Fracture Surgery Among the Elderly.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 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
Objective: In spite of following multimodal treatment including medical, surgical intervention and physiotherapy, most elderly with proximal femur fractures do not regain their pre-fracture mobility and activity. This study found factors affecting post-surgical outcome following hip surgery over a 3-year follow-up. Methods: Prospective observational cross-over study included 76 patients, ≥ 60 years sustaining proximal femur fracture from November 2017 to April 2019 with an average 3-year follow-up. Decision for surgery was taken after an assessment by the orthopaedician, anaesthesiologist and physician. Patient mobility (Palmer and Parker score), disability (modified Barthel index) and post-operative complications and mortality were studied. Results: On performing multivariate regression, the following was found: (a) age (years) was a significant independent risk factor of poor Parker and Palmer Score {6 months} and poor Barthel index {6 months} after adjusting for confounding factors [OR 1.12 (1.029-1.22) and 1.13 (1.021-1.25)]. (b) Age (years) and pre-operative Parker and Palmer score were significant independent risk factors of poor Parker and Palmer Score {1 year} after adjusting for confounding factors [OR 1.129 (1.017-1.252) and 0.597 (0.379-0.939)]. (c) Increase in pre-operative Barthel index score by 1 unit, duration of hospital stay significantly decreased by 0.148 days and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) classification (3, 4) had significantly high duration of hospital stay [beta coefficient of 3.642 (1.155-6.13)]. Conclusion: Pre-operative Parker and Palmer score and age are independent risk factors for post-surgical outcome, while ASA classification (3, 4) and pre-operative modified Barthel index score are independent risk factors for duration of hospital stay.
