Sarcopenia in Senior Subjects with Hip Fracture: Study of Prevalence, Correlation with Obesity, and Ultrasonography of the Rectus Femoris Muscle.

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
Objective: To determine the prevalence of probable sarcopenia in senior patients with hip fractures and to evaluate the correlation between ultrasound measurements of the rectus femoris (RF) muscle, obesity, and the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Methods: The present study included 65 participants aged ≥ 60 years old admitted due to hip fractures. We administered the Strength, Assistance with Walking, Rising from a Chair, Climbing Stairs, and Falls (SARC-F) questionnaire, and measured the calf circumference and handgrip strength. We also assessed the thickness and cross-sectional area of the bilateral RF muscle using ultrasound. Results: We identified probable sarcopenia in 13 participants (20.6%). The mean RF thickness was 1.03 cm (standard deviation [SD] = 0.22) for the right thigh and 1.03 cm (SD = 0.23) for the left thigh. The mean cross-sectional area was 2.61 cm Conclusion: The prevalence of probable sarcopenia was 20.6%. There was no correlation between ultrasound measurements of the RF and the presence of sarcopenia. Overweight significantly increased fourfold the likelihood of probable sarcopenia in this population.
