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

Purpose: South Korea is rapidly aging, with older adult care costs soaring and lung diseases prevalent among the older adults. The correlation between hand grip strength (HGS) and lung function is contested, demanding further research to assess its viability as a predictor of lung health in this growing demographic. In this study, we explored the relationship between HGS and lung function. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, of 32,379 participants, we selected 3,362 aged 65 years or older, after exclusions. We assessed lung function through forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV Results: Analysis of 3,362 participants revealed that, after adjusting for relevant covariates, HGS retained a statistically significant correlation with FVC and FEV Conclusion: Findings showed HGS independently aligned with FVC and FEV
