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: Low lean mass (LM) is associated with increased cardiometabolic disease risk and increased injury risk. Protein (PRO) intake is an important strategy to build and maintain LM. There is limited data quantifying PRO intake and evaluating the association between PRO intake and LM in non-athletic, young adult, female populations, and even less in females of color. The purpose of this study was to characterize PRO intake and evaluate the association between PRO intake and LM in females of color. Methods: 85 Non-Hispanic Black (n=42) and East Asian (n=43) females (Age: 22.5 ± 3.8 yrs, BMI: 23.8 ± 3.5 kg/m Results: For the full sample, PRO intake was 86.1 ± 30.0 g and %PRO was 17.4 ± 4.8%. After accounting for covariates, there were significant correlations between total PRO intake (g) and LM (p < 0.001, Δr Conclusions: In this ethnically diverse sample of young-adult females, PRO intake and %PRO were within recommended guidelines to support LM. We found a moderate association between total PRO intake and LM in both ethnicities; however, %PRO may be a more important metric of adequate protein intake to support LM in NH Black females.
