Association between hand grip strength and spirometric parameters: Korean National health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundWe investigated the associations between hand grip strength (HGS) and spirometric parameters.
methodsA total of 5,303 participants over 40 years of age, who underwent spirometry and HGS testing, were selected from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014-2015. Outcome measures were forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
resultsMean HGS in the obstructive group was: male: 38.9±6.9 kg; female: 24.2±4.8 kg, which was significantly less than that in the normal group (male: 42.2±7.2 kg, P<0.001; female: 26.0±4.6 kg, P<0.001). In a multiple linear regression model, HGS was significantly associated with FEV
conclusionsWe found associations between muscle strength as evaluated by HGS and spirometric pulmonary function parameters.
