Sarcopenia in women with rheumatoid arthritis.

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
objectiveTo assess sarcopenia status in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MATERIAL AND
methodsThirty female patients with RA and 30 female controls without RA were enrolled in this study. Sarcopenia status in patients with RA was evaluated by assessing body composition using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured, and body mass index (BMI) and Disease Activity Score (DAS28) were calculated. Because sarcopenia differs between men and women, the study groups comprised only females.
resultsIt was found that skeletal muscle index (SMI) was lower in patients with RA (5.83±0.807) than in controls (7.30±1.640). Sarcopenia (in females with an SMI of ≤5.75 kg/m
conclusionIt was found that SMI was decreased and sarcopenia risk was elevated in patients with RA and the risk was higher in non-obese patients.
