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

Association between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and sarcopenia among middle-aged and older adults remains unclear. To explore the relationship between eGDR and sarcopenia, and its predictive ability for sarcopenia risk among middle-aged and older adults. Data in this study were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 to 2015. Logistic regression and Cox regression models were used to estimate the association of eGDR with sarcopenia. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to describe the nonlinear link between them, and subgroup analysis was conducted to ensure the stability of the results. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the capabilities of eGDR and the other six indices of insulin resistance for predicting sarcopenia risk. Four machine learning models were introduced, and the contribution of variables in the best predictive model was applied. A total of 1,627 participants participated in the cohort study. Compared with participants with eGDR ˃10.89, those with eGDR < 6.99 were at higher risk of sarcopenia, especially in individuals who are aged over 64 years and had diabetes. RCS analysis indicated a significant negative nonlinear relationship between eGDR and the risk of sarcopenia when eGDR < 7.319. A random forest model exhibited the best performance; eGDR was the key predictive factor among all variables. eGDR exhibits good capability for predicting sarcopenia risk.
