Skeletal muscle mass is associated with glycemic variability in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Observational study in Heart and vessels, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Skeletal muscle function has been studied to determine its effect on glucose metabolism; however, its effect on glycemic variability (GV), which is a significant glycemic marker in patients with coronary artery disease, is unknown. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the association between skeletal muscle mass and GV. Two hundred and eight consecutive ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent continuous glucose monitoring to evaluate mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE) as GV and a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to evaluate skeletal muscle mass were enrolled. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) level was calculated as skeletal muscle mass divided by height squared (kg/m
