Relationship between Trunk Muscle Mass Index at Admission and Walking Independence in Patients with Hip Fracture.
Article in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 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
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between trunk muscle mass index (TMI), appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), and walking independence in patients aged 65 years and older undergoing rehabilitation for hip fracture. Methods: This retrospective, observational study was conducted in a convalescent rehabilitation ward and included 314 patients (aged ≥65 years) with hip fracture. The patients were classified into the independence group [functional independence measure (FIM)-walk score ≥6] or the non-independence group (FIM-walk score ≤5) according to the mobility item score among the motor FIM items at the time of discharge. Age, sex, TMI, ASMI, and Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) data were also extracted. Between-group and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the factors associated with walking independence. Results: The independence group had higher TMI (males: 6.6±0.9 vs. 5.6±1.0 kg/m Conclusions: This study suggests that a higher TMI at admission was important for acquiring walking independence in patients with hip fracture and shows the importance of early evaluation of TMI during hospitalization of patients with hip fracture.
