Geriatric syndromes in elderly hospitalized patients in China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Geriatric syndromes are nonspecific symptoms and signs that occur with aging. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of geriatric syndromes among elderly hospitalized patients in China. Method: This cross-sectional study conducted a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) on elderly patients hospitalized in Ruijin Hospital Luwan Branch, between January 2023 and July 2024. The CGA included evaluations of pain, sleep, constipation, fall risk, urinary incontinence, polypharmacy, nutritional risk, and dementia. Result: A total of 150 patients were included in this study. The five most prevalent geriatric syndromes were sleep disorders (44.67%), polypharmacy (40.67%), fall risk (24.67%), urinary incontinence (21.33%), and malnutrition (20.67%). The fall risk was significantly higher in women compared to men (37.50% vs. 12.82%, Conclusion: This study suggested that the incidence of sleep disorders, polypharmacy, and fall risk was relatively high among elderly hospitalized patients. Gender and marital status may have influenced the occurrence of these syndromes. Future care strategies could be tailored to specific populations.
