Cutpoints for Muscle Mass and Strength Derived from Weakness or Mobility Impairment and Compared with Other Diagnostic Criteria in Community-Dwelling Elderly People.

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
We identified the strength cutpoints concerning mobility impairment, then identified the muscle mass cutpoints concerning weakness, and compared the results with other diagnostic criteria to develop the clinical diagnostic criteria associated with functional impairment. In 7583 elderly people, classification and regression tree (CART) and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were used for determining cutpoints for handgrip strength (HGS) and appendicular lean mass (ALM) indices associated with slowness or weakness. Logistic regressions were then used to quantify the strength of the association between muscle mass (or strength) categories and weakness (or slowness). The CART second cutpoints of muscle mass and strength indices were lower than those specified by the ROC method and were between those cutpoints determined by the 20th and Mean-2SD methods. After adjusting for covariates, the associations remained significant in handgrip strength categories defined by the CART and ROC cutpoints and HGS/BMI categories defined by the CART, ROC, and 20th cutpoints in men and women (P < 0.05), ALM, ALM/Ht
