The relationship between osteoporosis and sarcopenia, according to EWGSOP-2 criteria, in outpatient elderly.

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
introductionOsteoporosis and sarcopenia are significant health problems that mainly affect older adults. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia and osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 444 participants who had undergone a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan, handgrip test, 4-m walking speed test, and bioimpedance analysis within the past year. Participants were classified into control, osteopenia, or osteoporosis groups according to the World Health Organization classification. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People-2 criteria.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 75.88 ± 7.20 years, and 80.9% were females. There were 144, 230, and 70 participants in the osteoporosis, osteopenia, and control groups, respectively. Probable sarcopenia was identified in 94 subjects, sarcopenia in 61, and severe sarcopenia in 72 participants. After adjusting for age, gender, and body mass index, probable sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia were associated with osteoporosis (p < 0.05). Low muscle strength, and low physical performance were associated with osteoporosis (p < 0.02). When osteoporosis was evaluated only according to the femoral neck T score, low muscle strength and low physical performance were found to be related not only to osteoporosis (p < 0.001), but also to osteopenia (p < 0.05). Additionally, probable sarcopenia was associated with femoral neck osteopenia (p < 0.01).
conclusionsIn this study, probable sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia were associated with osteoporosis in older adults. Furthermore, we found that low muscle strength, or dynapenia, which is the determining criterion of sarcopenia, was related to femoral neck osteopenia and osteoporosis.
