[Impact of sarcopenia risk on the functionality of older adults after emergency surgery].
Article in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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
Background: In the last decades, the growth of the global elderly population has multiplied their needs for care and, therefore, surgical attention. It is important to determine the impact of sarcopenia on the development of functional decline following a surgical procedure. Identifying vulnerable patients helps in setting realistic recovery expectations and early care planning, which is why these should be considered an integral part of care to implement patient-centered interventions. Objective: To determine the association between sarcopenia risk and functional decline 90 days after discharge in general surgery patients aged 65 years or older who underwent emergency abdominal surgery. Material and methods: Prospective cohort study of patients aged 65 years or older, hospitalized with and without sarcopenia in the La Raza Medical National Center's General Surgery Department between 2024 and 2025, who underwent urgent abdominal surgery. The study aimed to assess the patient's functional status at home 90 days after discharge via a telephone call. Results: A total of 51 patients were included. It was observed that sarcopenia risk is a significant predictor of low functionality (Barthel) at 3 months: R2 = 0.75. Conclusion: Sarcopenia risk in older adults contributes to the decline in their functional recovery following emergency surgery.
