Beneficial outcomes of medication review in patients with hip fractures: a systematic review.
Synthesis in European geriatric medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study aims to analyze medication review efficacy toward clinical outcomes in older adults with hip fractures.
methodsA systematic search was conducted using the modified keywords "medication review," "polypharmacy," and "hip fractures" to find relevant studies. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we reviewed published studies from 2014 to 2024. A total of 21 studies have been identified, six of which reported medication reviews for older adults with hip fractures.
resultsThe findings highlight the critical need for a multi-faceted strategy to address the challenges of polypharmacy in older adults with hip fractures. A higher number of medications is associated with some adverse outcomes, such as increased hospitalization rates, longer recovery times, and a greater incidence of pressure ulcers. Although minimizing inappropriate medications may show some positive results, focusing solely on medication management is insufficient in this vulnerable population.
conclusionMedication reviews have substantially mitigated medication-related issues, including costs, drug efficacy, and patient discomfort. Nevertheless, clinical outcomes have yet to exhibit significant improvement, which presents an opportunity for further research to explore the potential benefits of medication reviews in enhancing the care of patients with hip fractures. A holistic approach, which consists of medication review, patient education, and tailored rehabilitation programs, may be essential to improve recovery, decrease hospitalization rates, and prevent adverse events.
