Total Distance Walked After Hip Surgery Identifies Older Patients With Sarcopenia.
Observational study in Nursing & health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aims to determine the optimal cut-off point for total walking distance on the day of hospital discharge to identify older adults at high risk of sarcopenia following hip fracture surgery. A prospective observational study included 135 patients aged > 65 years who underwent hip fracture surgery. Logistic regression models were used to predict probable or confirmed sarcopenia based on hospital stay data. Cut-off points were determined using the Youden index, with internal validation through 10-fold cross-validation. The mean age of participants was 81.6 years (SD 7.6), and 72% were women. Sarcopenia was suspected in 33% of patients, with half meeting criteria for confirmed sarcopenia. Walking distance on discharge decreased significantly with increasing sarcopenia severity (p < 0.001). Thresholds of ≤ 8.8 m for women and ≤ 11.3 m for men identified sarcopenia, with positive predictive values of 90% and 62.5%, and negative predictive values of 73.7% and 96.7%, respectively. Alternative models were developed for cases lacking walking distance data. Walking distance at discharge is a simple, practical, and effective marker for identifying sarcopenia in older adults after hip fracture surgery.
