Prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors among Thai population.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia using the skeletal muscle index (SMI) criteria in the Thai population. The secondary objective was to demonstrate factors influencing low SMI in this population. Femoral neck bone mass density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (GE Lunar, Madison, WI, USA) in 435 urban and 397 rural subjects (334 men and 498 women) between 20 and 84 years of age. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from weight and height. The respective prevalence of sarcopenia among men and women was 35.33 % (95 % CI, 29.91, 40.41) and 34.74 % (95 % CI, 30.56, 39.10). Factors associated with sarcopenia using multiple logistic regression analyses in both sexes were (a) living in the city, (b) higher BMI, and (c) older age. Living in an urban area was the strongest factor, with an odds ratio (OR) of 17.26 ± 7.12 (95 % CI, 7.68, 38.76) in men and 8.62 ± 2.74 (95 % CI, 4.62, 16.05) in women (p < 0.05). The prevalence rate ratio for persons living in urban compared to rural areas was 2.01 (95 % CI, 1.14, 3.53) in men and 1.69 (95 % CI, 1.31, 2.17) in women (p < 0.05). Sarcopenia, as based on SMI, occurs frequently in the Thai population and increases with age. The prevalence of sarcopenia is particularly high among pre-retirement women (50-59 years of age) whereas the number of men with sarcopenia gradually rises with age. An urban environment is the most predictive factor for sarcopenia, followed by high BMI and age. Given the aging population, early recognition of this condition can be beneficial for prevention of an epidemic of sarcopenia-related disability.
