Sarcopenia: an unsolved problem after hip fracture.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
introductionSarcopenia, loss of muscle mass and strength, leads to functional dependence and disability. To date, no study reported the postoperative change of sarcopenia prevalence after hip fractures. Thus, we assessed postoperative changes in the prevalence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia in hip fracture patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsAmong 1159 patients, who underwent surgery for low-energy hip fractures between May 2012 and December 2019, 224 patients (38 men and 186 women with a mean age of 76.8 ± 8.7 years) were studied with preoperative and follow-up dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal muscle mass were measured on DXA scans. The postoperative changes in the prevalence of osteoporosis and that of the sarcopenia were evaluated as well as Koval grade of the hip fracture patients.
resultsWhile there was no significant change in BMD, SMI significantly decreased postoperatively. Mean decrease of the SMI was 0.53 kg/m
conclusionsAfter hip fracture, osteoporosis seemed to be well managed and the prevalence of osteoporosis did not increase. However, SMI decreased and the prevalence of sarcopenia increased. More active measures are warranted to prevent sarcopenia in elderly hip fracture patients.
