Association between coexisting physical, cognitive, and social frailty and sarcopenia in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

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: To investigate the influencing factors of coexisting physical, cognitive, and social frailty in MHD patients and explore its association with sarcopenia, in order to provide a reference for developing comprehensive intervention strategies targeting multidimensional frailty. Methods: A convenience sample of MHD patients receiving treatment at the hemodialysis centers of two general hospitals in Hangzhou from July to August 2025 was enrolled. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, Fried Frailty Phenotype Scale, Social Frailty Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Modified Quantitative Subjective Global Assessment (MQSGA), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Pearson correlation analysis and binary logistic regression were used to examine the co-occurrence of physical, cognitive, and social frailty and its association with sarcopenia. Results: A total of 336 questionnaires were distributed and 325 valid responses were collected. Among the 325 MHD patients, the proportions of individuals with frailty in 0, 1, 2, and 3 domains were 60.0% ( Conclusion: Approximately 11.1% of MHD patients experience coexisting physical, cognitive, and social frailty. Sarcopenia is significantly associated with this multidimensional frailty. Early identification and intervention targeting sarcopenia and its related factors may help prevent or mitigate frailty in MHD patients.
