Nutritional and Inflammatory Markers and In-hospital Mortality in Geriatric Hip Fractures: A Retrospective Study.
Article in The Eurasian journal of 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
backgroundGeriatric hip fractures are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Malnutrition and systemic inflammation are common in this population and may adversely affect outcomes. This study evaluated the associations of nutritional and inflammatory markers with in-hospital mortality.
methodsGeriatric patients admitted with hip fractures between January 2018 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Nutritional status was assessed using the Prognostic Nutritional Index, Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index. Inflammatory markers included the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-to-albumin ratio. The primary endpoint was all-cause in-hospital mortality during the index hospitalization.
resultsAmong 400 patients, the in-hospital mortality rate was 5.0% (n = 20), and 34.0% (n = 136) required intensive care unit admission. Non-survivors were significantly older, had lower body mass index, and higher NRS-2002 scores (all P < .050). In multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for age and sex, higher NRS-2002 scores remained independently associated with mortality (OR: 3.26-3.40; 95% CI: 1.51-7.18; all P ≤ .003), whereas CAR and PNI were not. Receiver operating characteristic curves analysis demonstrated the highest discriminatory ability for NRS-2002 (area under the curve: 0.685), followed by CAR (0.631) and PNI (0.568).
conclusionNutritional Risk Screening-2002 was the only marker consistently associated with in-hospital mortality. Structured nutritional screening may provide more clinically meaningful short-term risk stratification than isolated laboratory-derived indices in geriatric hip fracture patients.
