Effectiveness of a Home-Based Video-Guided Hip Muscle Exercise Program in Elderly Patients Following Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
backgroundPhysical therapy after a femoral neck fracture is essential but is limited by poor compliance and incorrect exercise. To improve this, we developed the home-based video-guided music program (HBW-MV) program. We hypothesize that this program will improve functional outcome. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsThis was a randomized controlled trial from 2023 to 2024 on elderly patients with cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture. Thirty patients were equally allocated into the intervention group and the control group. Both received pre-discharge physical therapy instructions from an orthopedic trainee. Functional outcomes were assessed using Harris Hip Score (HHS) from two to 12 weeks. Hip strength was measured by a handheld dynamometer. Anxiety and pain were assessed using a visual analog scale. Compliance was assessed by a record table.
resultsBoth groups showed an increase in HHS at two, six, and 12 weeks postoperatively. The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher HHS compared with the control group at all time points, with mean scores of 49.40±6.10, 65.20±6.09, and 82.30±5.85 versus 39.73±7.80, 53.53±5.84, and 67.67±6.33, respectively (p<0.05). At the 12-week follow-up, significantly higher hip muscle strength in abduction, adduction, and flexion was observed in the intervention group relative to the control group (p < 0.05), whereas hip extension strength, although improved in both groups, did not show a statistically significant between-group difference. At both six and 12 weeks postoperatively, anxiety scores were significantly reduced in the intervention group relative to the control group (six weeks: 2.87±0.91 vs 3.47±0.64, p=0.023; 12 weeks: 1.47±0.51 vs 2.27±0.96, p=0.004). Postoperative pain scores were also significantly lower in the intervention group at 12 weeks (1.20±0.41 vs 1.93±0.88, p=0.004). Patient compliance with the rehabilitation program was significantly higher in the intervention group at six and 12 weeks.
conclusionsThis research shows the HBW-MV program significantly improved functional outcomes, hip strength, and compliance. Additionally, it reduced anxiety and postoperative pain effectively.
