The association of dietary branched-chain amino acid intake with hand grip strength and muscular viscoelastic properties in sedentary young women: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAn excessively sedentary lifestyle is associated with many negative health consequences, including musculoskeletal diseases. Dietary branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) play an important role in muscle metabolism and function.
aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dietary BCAA intake and triceps and biceps brachii upper extremity muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity measured by hand grip strength (HGS) and MyotonPro.
methodIn this cross-sectional study, data collected from 76 young women aged 18-24 years were analyzed. To collect the data, the Descriptive Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) were used. The participants' height, body weight, HGS, and muscle viscoelastic properties were measured. In data analysis, descriptive statistics and both simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed.
resultsThe mean total BCAA intake of the participants was 11.2 ± 3.6 g/day. The dietary BCAAs intake was significantly positively related to HGS (Model 1 (β, 0.286; p < 0.05), Model 2 (β, 0.444; p < 0.05)). The dietary total BCAAs intake was significantly positively related to biceps brachii tone (Model 1 (β, 0.304; p < 0.05), Model 2 (β, 0.457; p < 0.05)), biceps brachii stiffness (Model 1 (β, 0.293; p < 0.05), Model 2 (β, 0.525; p < 0.05)), and triceps brachii stiffness (Model 1 (β, 0.345; p < 0.05), Model 2 (β, 0.363; p < 0.05)), whereas dietary BCAAs were not related to biceps brachii elasticity, triceps brachii tone, and elasticity (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe results of the study support the potential effects of dietary BCAA intake on HGS, muscle tone, and stiffness characteristics in sedentary young women.
