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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThis cross-sectional study evaluated associations between physical function, cognitive function, sarcopenia, and the lower-limb Muscle Quality Index (MQI) in older adults.

methodsPatients with various MQIs (strength-to-mass ratios) were stratified into two groups. Physical-muscular aspects were assessed using body mass index (BMI), a Simple Questionnaire to Rapidly Diagnose Sarcopenia (SARC-F), and handgrip strength. Cognitive aspects were assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Trail Making Test, Stroop Test, verbal fluency, and dual-task performance. Seventy-nine older adults (73 ± 9 years) of both sexes completed the tests.

resultsBMI, SARC-F, handgrip strength, MMSE, Stroop Test (L1), semantic verbal fluency (animals), and dual-task outcomes differed between MQI groups (

conclusionLower-limb MQI was associated with markers of sarcopenia and cognitive/dual-task performance in community-dwelling older adults.
