Sarcopenia and Related Functional Outcomes Following Hip Surgery Among Egyptian Geriatric Patients With Hip Fracture.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background Sarcopenia is highly prevalent among elderly patients with hip fracture. Studies reported a significant association between sarcopenia and clinical outcomes in patients with hip fractures. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia among elderly patients with hip fracture and its effect on short-term functional outcomes, highlighting predictors of postoperative functional decline. Methods This is a cross-sectional study followed by a prospective cohort. Elderly patients (60 years and above) with hip fractures were recruited from the orthopedic department. Patients were followed by the ortho-geriatric team in the perioperative period and for three postoperative months. Patients were subjected to comprehensive geriatric assessment including a full history and physical examination. In the preoperative state and after three months of follow-up the following were assessed: functional independence using the Barthel index (BI); nutritional state using a checklist named DETERMINE Your Nutritional Health
