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

backgroundSelf-reported weight change may lead to adverse outcomes. We evaluated weight change with cutpoints of low lean mass (LLM) in older adults.

methodsOf 4984 subjects ≥60 years from NHANES 1999-2004, we applied LLM cutoffs of appendicular lean mass (ALM):body mass index (BMI) males<0.789, females<0.512. Self-reported weight was assessed at time of survey, and questions asked participants their weight one and 10 years earlier, and at age 25. Weight changes were categorized as greater/less/none than 5%. Logistic regression assessed weight change (gain, loss, no change) on LLM, after adjustment.

resultsOf 4984 participants (56.5% female), mean age and BMI were 71.1 years and 28.2 kg/m

conclusionSelf-reported weight gain suggests an increased risk of LLM. Future studies need to verify the relationship with physical function.
