Comparing home-based and institutional rehabilitation for community-dwelling hip fracture patients: a matched cohort study.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2026.

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
Home-based rehabilitation after hip fracture costs less than institutional care, but is care quality comparable? Using Norwegian registry data, we found that patients rehabilitated at home had substantially lower mortality and readmission rates. These findings suggest home-based rehabilitation may offer both economic and clinical advantages.
backgroundWhile home-based rehabilitation following hip fracture typically costs less than institutional care, questions remain about care quality equivalence.
objectiveTo compare care quality between home-based and institutional rehabilitation by examining 1-year mortality and 30-day readmission rates among hip fracture patients.
methodsWe identified 10,790 community-dwelling hip fracture patients aged 60+ from the Norwegian Patient Registry (2018-2019). Patients receiving institutional rehabilitation were matched with those receiving home-based care using propensity score matching. Logistic regression examined treatment effects on outcomes.
resultsAfter propensity score matching, home-based treatment was associated with lower mortality (OR = 0.44; 95% CI, 0.38-0.51) and lower readmission rates (OR = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.49-0.63) compared to treatment at institutions.
conclusionCommunity-dwelling hip fracture patients receiving institutional rehabilitation had higher mortality and readmission rates than those treated at home, suggesting superior care quality with home-based treatment.
