Low muscle mass affect hip fracture treatment outcomes in older individuals: a single-institution case-control study.

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
backgroundAlthough sarcopenia has been known as a risk factor for hip fracture, only a few reports have described the impact of muscle mass on hip fracture treatment outcomes. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of muscle mass on hip fracture treatment outcomes.
methodsThis case-control study involved 337 patients (67 males and 270 females) with hip fracture aged ≥65 years (mean age: 84.1 ± 7.1 years) who underwent orthopedic surgery from January 2013 to June 2019. The mean follow-up period was 17.1 (1-60) months. Upon admission, all patients were assessed for low muscle mass according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria (male, SMI < 7.00 kg/m
resultsThe prevalence of low muscle mass in patients with hip fracture was 231(68.5%). Those with low muscle mass had a lower Barthel index (P < 0.0001), hospital discharge rate (P = 0.035) and higher one-year mortality (P = 0.010). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis adjusted for age and sex found that low muscle mass was a risk factor for one-year mortality (hazard ratio, 3.182, 95% confidence interval, 1.097-9.226, P = 0.033).
conclusionsPatients with hip fracture who had low muscle mass had a lower Barthel index, lower home discharge rate, and higher one-year mortality. Moreover, low muscle mass was identified as a risk factor for one-year mortality among those with hip fracture. The aforementioned findings may help clinicians better manage those with hip fracture.
