Prevalence and temporal trends of presarcopenia metrics and related body composition measurements from the 1999 to 2006 NHANES.
Article in BMJ open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the prevalence and temporal trends of presarcopenia and related body composition measurements.
designCross-sectional study.
settingNational Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2006.
methodsPresarcopenia was defined according to the guidelines from the European Working Group on Sarcopenia. Logistic or linear regression models were used to evaluate the linear trend of the prevalence of presarcopenia, obesity and related body composition measurements.
participantsA total of 29 947 participants aged 18-90 years from five waves of the NHANES were included in the analysis. OUTCOME MEASURES: Presarcopenia was sex-specifically defined as having a skeletal mass index ≤7.26 kg/m
resultsThe overall prevalence of presarcopenia ranged from 16.4% in 1999-2000 to 14.8% in 2005-2006 (p for trend=0.78). Presarcopenia was stable in both males (p for trend=0.36) and females (p for trend=0.20). The presarcopenia prevalence was significantly elevated among the age group of 18-39 years old (from 11.3% to 14.1%, p for trend=0.04) and among non-Hispanic blacks (p for trend <0.001). Adults aged ≥80 years old had the highest prevalence.
conclusionsThe prevalence of presarcopenia increased among young individuals over time. Non-Hispanic blacks also demonstrated an increasing trend in the prevalence over time.
