Association between atherosclerosis and handgrip strength in non-hypertensive populations in India and Japan.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
aimAlthough several risk factors contribute to the development of sarcopenia, whether preclinical atherosclerosis contributes to the risk of sarcopenia is not established. The present cross-sectional study aimed to investigate if there is an association between preclinical atherosclerosis and muscle strength among two ethnic populations.
methodsParticipants included individuals aged ≥40 years and enrolled in the third follow-up examination of the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study, India, and in the baseline assessments of the Nagasaki Islands Study, Japan. Preclinical atherosclerosis was evaluated by carotid intima-media thickness, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, cardio-ankle vascular index. The association of carotid intima-media thickness and pulse wave velocity/cardio-ankle vascular index with handgrip strength (HGS) was analyzed separately in the sexes and for hypertensive status from the two cohorts using a multivariable linear regression model.
resultsData on a total of 1501 participants in India and 3136 participants in Japan were analyzed. Carotid intima-media thickness was negatively associated with HGS in non-hypertensive Indian men (B coefficient = -5.38, P = 0.036). Arterial stiffness was also associated with HGS in non-hypertensive Indian men (B = -0.97, P = 0.001), but not in hypertensive Indian men. Same as Indian men, we found the significant associations between arterial stiffness and HGS in non-hypertensive women in both India and Japan (B = -0.44, P = 0.020, B = -0.63, P = 0.016, respectively), but not in hypertensive women.
conclusionsThe negative association between preclinical atherosclerosis and HGS was dominantly found in non-hypertensive participants. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 1071-1078.
