1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia and/or myosteatosis in elderly patients with pelvic ring injuries and their influence on mortality, patient-perceived physical functioning and quality of life (QoL). A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted including elderly patients aged ≥ 65 treated for a pelvic ring injury. Cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) muscle measurements were obtained to determine the presence of sarcopenia and/or myosteatosis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for survival analysis, and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine risk factors for mortality. Patient-reported outcome measures for physical functioning (SMFA) and QoL (EQ-5D) were used. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to determine the effect of sarcopenia and myosteatosis on patient-perceived physical functioning and QoL. Data to determine sarcopenia and myosteatosis were available for 199 patients, with a mean follow-up of 2.4 ± 2.2 years: 66 patients (33%) were diagnosed with sarcopenia and 65 (32%) with myosteatosis, while 30 of them (15%) had both. Mortality rates in patients at 1 and 3 years without sarcopenia and myosteatosis were 13% and 21%, compared to 11% and 36% in patients with sarcopenia, 17% and 31% in patients with myosteatosis and 27% and 43% in patients with both. Higher age at the time of injury and a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) were independent risk factors for mortality. Patient-reported mental and emotional problems were significantly increased in patients with sarcopenia.
