[Musculoskeletal factors, sarcopenia and falls in old age].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Falls in older adults are a major public health problem with a high incidence and severe consequences for the older individual. The age-related loss of muscle strength as well as muscle mass and muscle function (sarcopenia) are i) risk factors for falling, ii) associated with physical function and iii) markers of the frailty syndrome. Muscle function appears to play a bigger role than muscle mass. The operationalization of sarcopenia using the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) algorithm is consistently associated with falling events. Structured physical exercise plays the key role in the prevention of falls and the management of functional decline caused by sarcopenia and frailty. The combined supplementation with proteins and vitamin D supports muscle protein synthesis in undersupplied persons and improves aspects of physical function.
