ANDROID and A/G ratio are correlated with sarcopenia among type 2 diabetes patients.

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: Fat distribution plays an important role in impaired glucose tolerance. Android adiposity (ANDROID) and gynoid adiposity (GYNOID) have been proven to be linked with insulin resistance. A higher risk of sarcopenia is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, ANDROID, GYNOID, and ANDROID to GYNOID ratios (A/G ratios) were evaluated in T2DM patients to determine if they were associated with sarcopenia. Methods: We recruited 1086 T2DM patients, measured skeletal muscle index (SMI), ANDROID, GYNOID, and collected clinical data. Results: T2DM patients with 119 male subjects had sarcopenia (20.24%), and 72 female subjects had sarcopenia (16.51%). All patients with T2DM who had high ANDROID and A/G ratios were at a reduced risk of sarcopenia. The SMI showed a correlation with ANDROID and A/G ratios among subjects with T2DM. Conclusion: ANDROID and A/G ratios are inversely related to sarcopenia in T2DM patients.
