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

objectiveThe objective of this analysis was to determine the diagnostic efficacy of the Ishii test, SarSA-Mod, SARC-F, SARC-Calf, SARC-F+AC, and SARC-Calf+AC for screening for sarcopenia among rural community-dwelling older adults.

methodsThe AWGS 2019 diagnostic criteria was a diagnostic reference for sarcopenia. There were six screening tools whose accuracy was determined through the use of metrics, including specificity, sensitivity, negative and positive predictive values, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

resultsThe study included 551 participants (304 women, age 70.9 ± 4.9 years). The prevalence of sarcopenia was 44.5% in men and 39.1% in women. In males, the sensitivity/specificity of the Ishii test, SarSA-Mod, SARC-F, SARC-Calf, SARC-F+AC, and SARC-Calf+AC screening sarcopenia were 87.3%/65.7%, 98.2%/21.9%, 6.4%/98.5%, 28.2%/91.2%, 33.6%/83.9%, and 84.6%/43.8%, and in females, they were 68.1%/82.2, 100%/23.2%, 16.0%/90.3%, 35.3%/84.3%, 58.8%/61.1%, and 89.9%/42.2%, respectively. In males, the area under the curves of the Ishii test, SarSA-Mod, SARC-F, SARC-Calf, SARC-F+AC, and SARC-Calf+AC were 0.846 (95% CI 0.795-0.889), 0.800 (95% CI 0.745-0.848), 0.581 (95% CI 0.516-0.643), 0.706 (95% CI 0.645-0.762), 0.612 (95% CI 0.548-0.673), and 0.707 (95% CI 0.646-0.763), respectively, and in females, they were 0.824 (95% CI 0.776-0.865), 0.845 (95% CI 0.799-0.883), 0.581 (95% CI 0.524-0.637), 0.720 (95% CI 0.666-0.770), 0.632 (95% CI 0.575-0.686), and 0.715 (95% CI 0.661-0.765), respectively.

conclusionOur findings demonstrate that the overall accuracy of the Ishii test was best among the six screening tools for sarcopenia screening in rural community-dwelling older adults.
