Sarcopenia severity is related to arterial stiffness and hypertension in older Korean population without underweight and obesity: population based cross-sectional study.

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: Aging and obesity are considered causes of arterial stiffness, which triggers hypertension in the older population. However, a substantial number of older adults without obesity have hypertension, suggesting that arterial stiffness and hypertension are related to different risk factors in older adults without obesity. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether sarcopenia is related to arterial stiffness or hypertension in older Korean adults without underweight and obesity. Methods: A total of 2,237 male and female adults in the Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey who were ≥60 years and did not have underweight and obesity (18.5 ≤ body mass index <25.0 kg/m Results: Arterial stiffness and systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed an increasing trend from normal to moderate-to-severe sarcopenia ( Conclusion: Sarcopenia severity is related to arterial stiffness and hypertension in older Korean populations without underweight and obesity.
