Higher Prevalence of Sarcopenia in Knee Osteoarthritis and Its Association with Femoral Intercondylar Cartilage Thickness and Functional Outcomes.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and sarcopenia are prevalent age-related disorders that share common pathophysiological mechanisms such as aging, chronic inflammation, and physical inactivity. Their coexistence may aggravate functional decline and disability. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the prevalence of sarcopenia between individuals with KOA and matched controls and to explore the relationship between femoral intercondylar cartilage (FIC) thickness and muscle-related parameters. A total of 228 participants (114 KOA, 114 controls) matched by age, sex, and body mass index were enrolled. Assessments included appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMMI), handgrip strength, walking speed, and physical activity. In KOA patients, ultrasound measurements of FIC and quadriceps thickness and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were additionally obtained. Sarcopenia prevalence was higher in the KOA group than in controls (41.2% vs. 26.3%,
