Current practices and challenges in orthogeriatrics: findings from a European six-center survey.
Article in European geriatric 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
purposeTo describe reported orthogeriatric pathways and shared gaps across six European hospital units managing older adults with hip fractures, as a baseline for a quality-improvement (QI) project.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional online survey among healthcare professionals involved in orthogeriatric care in six units in Portugal, Finland, Germany, Romania, Italy, and Malta. The questionnaire explored prompt geriatric assessment in the emergency department, pain management, delirium assessment, urinary catheter policies, nutritional management, multidisciplinary team organization, osteoporosis treatment, and fall-prevention referral.
resultsA total of 163 professionals completed the survey. Timely admission to the orthogeriatric unit, early mobilization, and nutritional management were commonly reported, while urinary catheter policies, osteoporosis treatment, and fall-prevention referrals were infrequently reported across units.
conclusionsThis survey highlights elements of shared routine care and common actionable gaps, providing a baseline for targeted QI projects in orthogeriatric care, especially in secondary fracture prevention.
