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

Handgrip strength is useful for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. We examined the associations of handgrip strength with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization in patients with type 2 diabetes. From April 2013 to December 2015, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine patients with type 2 diabetes whose handgrip strength was measured at our hospital. All patients were followed up until May 2016. A total of 1,282 patients (63.8 ± 13.9 years) were enrolled and followed up for 2.36 ± 0.73 years. During the follow-up period, 20 patients (1.6%) died, 14 (1.1%) experienced cardiovascular events, and 556 (43.4%) were admitted to our hospital for any diseases. Multiple regression analyses revealed that handgrip strength was favorably associated with abdominal obesity and renal function. Moreover, Cox proportional hazard analyses with adjustment for potential confounding variables revealed that handgrip strength was significantly associated with occurrence of CVD events and hospitalization in all subjects. In addition, handgrip strength was significantly associated with mortality and hospitalization in men and with hospitalization in women. Handgrip strength could be a prognostic indicator for health as well as a diagnostic marker of skeletal muscle mass loss in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
