The psoas muscle index as a useful predictor of total hip arthroplasty outcomes.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionThe aim of this study is to assess the association between the psoas muscle index (PMI) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) outcomes. This is a critical issue as sarcopenia has been associated with poor patient satisfaction post-THA. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a retrospective case-control study of 205 THAs, with a mean follow-up of 3.6 (range, 2.0-5.5) years. Age, sex, serum immune markers, spinopelvic parameters, PMI (quantified as the cross-sectional area of the psoas, bilaterally, at L3 divided by the individual's height squared), and patient-reported outcomes were compared between patients 'with' (n = 118) and 'without' (n = 87) achievement of a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) improvement in the EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D), post-THA. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were used to identify predictive factors.
resultsA ≥ MCID improvement in the EQ-5D was associated with the PMI (odds ratio, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.63-0.91; P = 0.028), prognostic nutritional index (odds ratio, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.45-0.94; P = 0.043), and age (odds ratio, 1.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.18; P = 0.044). After adjusting the PMI threshold to 4.0 cm
conclusionThe PMI, which is associated with nutritional status and global sagittal spinal deformity, does predict THA outcomes. Therefore, it can be useful when discussing THA expectations with patients.
