Association of Osteosarcopenia with Functional Outcomes in Older Adult Patients Undergoing Rehabilitation.
Article in Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls, 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
Objectives: Osteosarcopenia is characterized by the coexistence of sarcopenia and osteoporosis. This comorbid condition is thought to negatively affect functional outcomes. In this study, we investigated the negative impact of osteosarcopenia on the functional outcomes of older patients undergoing rehabilitation. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted at Hamamatsu City Rehabilitation Hospital in Japan and included 184 participants ≥65 years. Functional outcomes were assessed using the functional independence measure (FIM), the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) achieved on the FIM, and home discharge. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the independent association of osteosarcopenia with FIM score at discharge and the FIM MCID. Additionally, the association between osteosarcopenia and home discharge was examined. Results: Osteosarcopenia was present in 30.4% of participants. Osteosarcopenia did not reach a statistically significant association with FIM at discharge (95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.518-8.489; β, 0.058), FIM MCID (odds ratio [OR]: 1.919; 95% CI: 0.698-5.277), or discharge to home (OR: 0.525; 95% CI: 0.126-2.189). Conclusions: Osteosarcopenia was prevalent among older patients undergoing rehabilitation, but its association with functional outcomes at discharge did not reach statistical significance. Intensive rehabilitation may have masked its adverse effects, warranting further longitudinal studies.
