Relative handgrip strength is inversely associated with the presence of type 2 diabetes in overweight elderly women with varying nutritional status.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsTo describe cross-sectional associations of BMI-adjusted handgrip strength with the presence of diabetes and hypertension in a community setting. METHODS AND
resultsBetween 2016 and 2018, 601 consecutive elderly active women (70.7 ± 6.9 years) were enrolled. Nutritional status was evaluated by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score. Muscle strength and level of fitness were assessed by standardized physical functional tests and handgrip strength (HGS). The majority of participants were overweight or obese (80% with BMI > 25). Prevalence of diabetes and hypertension was 13 and 60%, respectively. Participants in the lowest quartile of BMI-adjusted HGS (RHGS) had significantly higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension compared with those in the top quartile (20.7 vs 5.3% and 49.3 vs 39.3%, respectively, p < 0.01 for both), without significant differences in nutritional status. Association with the presence of diabetes was significantly weaker in women with higher vs lower RHGS values (OR 0.77; 0.59-0.86 CI95%; p = 0.002), independent of age, abdominal adiposity, and presence of hypertension. RHGS was positively correlated with most of the physical functional tests performed.
conclusionRHGS is an easy-to-obtain measure of muscular strength, independently associated with the presence of diabetes in overweight active elderly women. Prospective studies are required to assess its predictive value to identify adults at risk of developing diabetes.
