Impact of handgrip strength on postoperative recovery and prognosis in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.

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 investigate the impact of preoperative grip strength on early postoperative recovery, functional outcomes, and prognosis in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 195 elderly patients who underwent closed reduction and intramedullary nailing for intertrochanteric fractures between January 2018 and December 2022. Based on EWGSOP2 cut-off values (men < 27 kg, women < 16 kg), patients were classified into a high grip strength group ( Results: The baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups ( Conclusion: Preoperative grip strength is an effective predictor of postoperative prognosis in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. Low grip strength is significantly associated with greater hidden blood loss, a higher incidence of complications, poorer functional recovery, and increased mortality. Incorporating grip strength assessment into the preoperative evaluation and developing targeted rehabilitation strategies may help improve patient outcomes.
