Postoperative sarcopenia in older patients with hip fractures: incidence and associated risk factors in a retrospective cohort 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
Objective: Sarcopenia significantly impacts the quality of life in older adults. Given the lack of large-scale studies on risk factors for postoperative sarcopenia in older hip fracture patients, this study investigated its incidence and associated risk factors. Materials and methods: This retrospective study enrolled older patients who were admitted for surgical treatment of hip fractures. Results: Out of the 325 enrolled patients, 264 (81.23%) were identified as being at risk for postoperative sarcopenia. The average sarcopenia score was 5.01 ± 1.61. Significant differences ( Conclusion: This study identified several risk factors for sarcopenia following hip fracture surgery in older adults, providing a basis for targeted clinical interventions to mitigate postoperative muscle loss.
