Neck circumference as a predictor of possible sarcopenia in women aged 50-79 years residing in Gwangju, Korea.
Article in Nutrition research and practice, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesNeck circumference (NC) is recognized as a useful indicator of chronic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Despite its extensive use abroad, it is not yet widely used in Korea. Possible sarcopenia is defined as either low muscle strength or low physical performance. This study aimed to determine the optimal NC cut-off value for early screening of possible sarcopenia as an assessment tool for the effective prevention and management of sarcopenia. SUBJECTS/
methodsIn our cross-sectional study, we analyzed the data of 200 participants aged 50-79 yrs to determine the NC cut-off value for possible sarcopenia, as defined by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia.
resultsIn women, NC positively correlated with calf circumference, a diagnostic item for sarcopenia, in the 50-64-yrs (
conclusionNC is a potentially useful early screening tool for possible sarcopenia in individuals aged > 50 yrs, thereby helping delay the progression to sarcopenia.
