Effect of Osteosarcopenia on Postoperative Functional Outcomes and Subsequent Fracture in Elderly Hip Fracture Patients.

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
introductionIn this study, we evaluated how muscle mass and bone density affect postoperative functional scores and subsequent fracture rates and investigated the correlation between sarcopenia and osteoporosis by measuring preoperative psoas muscle indices (PMIs) and bone mineral densities (BMDs) in elderly patients followed for more 1 year after surgical treatment for hip fracture.
methodsAmong patients older than 65 years who underwent surgery for hip fracture from January 2009 to November 2018, 154 patients with preoperative 3D pelvic bone computed tomography and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry BMD data and followed postoperatively for at least 1 year were considered for the present study. One hundred twenty-six patients were finally included. These patients were divided into 4 groups based on PMIs and T-score, that is, to osteoporosis, sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, or normal groups. To analyze outcomes after surgery, we measured functional activity levels using the Barthel index and Harris hip score (HHS) systems. In addition, we compared the rates of subsequent hip fracture ratio with patient's characteristics, and analyzed the correlation between PMIs and BMDs using Pearson correlations analysis.
resultsBarthel index and HHS score showed significant differences between the normal and osteosarcopenia group at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year after surgery (
conclusionPostoperative functional outcomes were significantly poorer and the subsequent fracture rate was significantly higher in the osteosarcopenia group than in the normal group. In addition, sarcopenia and osteoporosis were found to be highly correlated.
