1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The role of flavonoids in regulating the synthesis and function of skeletal muscles is increasingly recognized. However, randomized controlled trials have yielded inconsistent results on the influence of flavonoids on human muscular parameters. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the possible effects of flavonoids on sarcopenia-related parameters in middle-aged and elderly people. Eligible literature and randomized controlled trials reports have been extensively searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases until April 2022. A total of 20 articles involving 796 participants were available for the meta-analysis. There were significant benefits for participants in appendicular muscle mass gain (SMD = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.52; Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=334383, identifier: CRD42022334383.
