Orthostatic hypotension and age-related sarcopenia.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesThis study aims to determine the association of sarcopenia with orthostatic hypotension (OH) which is a significant precursor to falls and related injuries in elderly patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 91 outpatients (18 males, 73 females; mean age 79.3±4.0 years; range, 75 to 91 years) were prospectively enrolled and those who were eligible underwent comprehensive sarcopenia assessment including measurement of muscle mass, strength, physical performance, anthropometric measurements along with frailty tests. Patients classified as sarcopenic or non-sarcopenic based on these measurements underwent supine and standing blood pressure (BP) measurements. The frequency of OH was compared between the two groups.
resultsOf the 91 patients, 29 (31.9%) had sarcopenia. There was no statistical difference in measurements of functional tests which consisted of gait speed, timed up-and-go test and handgrip strength. However, timed sit-to-stand test values were higher in sarcopenic patients (18.2±7.9 vs. 15.0±5.1, p=0.04). Patients with sarcopenia developed OA and intolerance more often compared to the non-sarcopenic patients (n=15 [50.0%] vs. n=14 [23.0%], p<0.01 and n=13 [44.8%] vs. n=9 [15.3%], p<0.01, respectively). The adjusted odds ratio for sarcopenia was 7.80 (95% confidence interval 1.77-34.45), p=0.007.
conclusionAge-related sarcopenia increases the risk of OA in the elderly. This may in part explain the increased incidence of falls and also help identification of risky elderly patients for orthostatic BP drops.
