ANALYSIS OF ARTHROPLASTIES IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH FEMORAL NECK FRACTURES AT A HOSPITAL IN SÃO PAULO.

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: To analyze the outcomes related to partial and total hip arthroplasties in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures at a hospital in the city of São Paulo. Material and methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients undergoing hip arthroplasty between 2020 and 2024 and extracted data on demographics, type of arthroplasty, length of hospital stay, and any postoperative complications such as infection and death. Results: 198 patients, mean age 84 years. Women (80.2%), men (19.8%). The mean time to surgery was 2.3 days, with 71.6% undergoing surgery within two days (early surgery). Length of ICU stay was significantly longer (p = 0.002) in the late surgery group (M = 47, SD = 40) compared to the early surgery group (M = 31, SD = 41). The total length of hospital stay was longer in the Late Surgery group (M = 17 days) compared to the Early Surgery group (M = 7 days), with statistical significance (p = 0.001) and a moderate-to-large effect size (ES = 0.695). Conclusion: Late surgery in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures increases hospitalization and ICU length of stay, but does not affect complications, mortality, or functional recovery. Although early surgery reduces hospitalization, management requires a multifactorial approach.
