Association of lower extremity function with nutritional status and number of drugs in patients with chronic heart failure.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThis study was performed to investigate the physical performance parameters, including lower extremity function parameters, that may be risk factors for falls in patients with chronic heart failure.
methodsSeventy patients with stable chronic heart failure were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5STS) time, Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, and number of drugs were assessed.
resultsSimple linear regression analysis revealed that the 5STS time was positively correlated with age, the CONUT score, and the number of drugs but was negatively associated with the handgrip force, quadriceps force, and quadriceps muscle thickness. Multiple linear regression analysis showed a significant association between the 5STS time and the CONUT score, quadriceps force, and number of drugs.
conclusionThe muscle strength, nutritional status, and number of drugs should be evaluated to prevent lower extremity weakness in patients with stable chronic heart failure.
