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

aimsTo evaluate the prevalence of pre-sarcopenia and sarcopenia and their relationship with clinical variables, physical activity, quality of life, and diet in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF).

methodsWe performed a cross-sectional study in patients with HFrEF and matched controls. Clinical, laboratory analysis, dual-emission X-ray densitometry, handgrip strength, and physical activity level questionnaire assessments were performed. Echocardiography, quality of life, gait speed, and 24-hour nutritional recall questionnaire were also analyzed. Pre-sarcopenia and sarcopenia were defined according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People with the cut-off points of the Foundation for the National Institute of Health.

results79 patients and 143 controls were enrolled. Pre-sarcopenia was found in 30.4%, and sarcopenia in 10.1% of the patients. Pre-sarcopenic patients were older and shorter, and had more fractures, higher calcemia, and creatinine (

conclusionPre-sarcopenia and sarcopenia were associated with aging. Despite having higher lean mass, women with HFrEF were weaker. Low gait speed was associated with biventricular systolic dysfunction.
