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

Frailty--the weakness of many (oldest) old persons--induces a lot of human sorrow with functional disabilities as well as health-economic costs. Sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) is also a form of frailty and a co-factor of two of the "geriatric Is"--immobility and instability. Pathophysiologically, both phenomena show signs of an inflammatory state. Physical activity and a healthy diet can partially reverse these health problems. Therefore, therapeutic strategies emerge to treat these frequent and clinically relevant phenomena.
