The association of osteoporosis and geriatric syndromes in the elderly: data from the Russian epidemiological study EVKALIPT.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Osteoporosis is associated with almost all geriatric syndromes (GSs), and the occurrence of osteoporosis in patients over 65 years of age increases by 1.2-2.5 times. Early diagnosis of osteoporosis and GSs is very important. Additional programs should be adopted by the state to introduce information about the possibilities of working with elderly patients. PURPOSE: To analyze associations of osteoporosis with geriatric syndromes in patients aged 65 years and older in the Russian Federation.
methodsA total of 4308 patients (30% men) aged 65-107 years were examined and distributed into 3 age groups (65-74 years, 75-84 years, and 85 years and older). All patients underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment. In the "Falls and risk of falls" module, the number and circumstances of falls over the previous year were analyzed, as well as the history of fractures. The presence of osteoporosis was determined based on medical records. Physical examination included anthropometric measurements and standard enquiry, short physical performance battery (SPPB), dynamometry, measurement of gait velocity, Mini-Cog test, and orthostatic test.
resultsA total of 507 patients (11.8%) had evidence of osteoporosis; indications of low-energy fractures in history were recorded in 739 (17.3%) patients. Patients with osteoporosis were older, shorter, and predominantly women; had a lower body weight and a higher Charlson comorbidity index; and took more drugs. Patients with osteoporosis had lower gait velocity, hand grip strength, Barthel index value, and scores of the Lawton instrumental activities of daily living scale, the MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment) short-form, and the SPPB. Osteoporosis is associated with almost all geriatric syndromes (GSs), and the occurrence of osteoporosis in patients over 65 years of age increases by 1.2-2.5 times.
conclusionsOsteoporosis is associated with almost all GSs. The association of osteoporosis with advanced GSs aggravates the condition of these patients. Early diagnosis of osteoporosis and GSs is very important. Additional programs should be adopted by the state to introduce information about the possibilities of working with elderly patients: early detection and correction of osteoporosis.
