Association Between Aerobic Exercise and Handgrip Strength in Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on Data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014-2017).
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesHandgrip strength is an easy-to-assess indicator of overall muscle strength and can be used to evaluate health status. Although previous studies have reported an increase in grip strength due to aerobic exercise, such a study has not been conducted on Korean participants. This study aimed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on handgrip strength and examine the association between these two variables in Korean patients with hypertension or diabetes.
designCross-sectional study.
settingThis study used data from the 6th and 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014-2017).
participantsA total of 19,650 individuals aged ≥19 years who had responded to questionnaires concerning aerobic exercise and handgrip strength were analyzed. MEASUREMENTS: The relationship between aerobic activity and handgrip strength was examined by logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe mean age of individuals in the low muscle strength group was higher than that in the normal muscle strength group. The odds ratio for low handgrip strength was higher in individuals who did not perform aerobic exercise than in those who performed aerobic exercise. Following adjustment for covariates, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for low handgrip strength were 1.415 (0.187-1.688) in the total sample, 1.799 (1.376-2.352) in patients with hypertension, and 1.811 (1.208-2.715) in patients with diabetes.
conclusionThe results of our study indicated a strong association between aerobic exercise and handgrip strength in the Korean population.
