Proximal muscle strength as a predictor of vitamin D insufficiency in elderly.
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 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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the association of serum vitamin D level with proximal muscle strength, tone, elasticity, and stiffness in elderly. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween September 2017 and January 2018, a total of 109 participants (21 males, 88 females; mean age: 71.2±4.6 years; range, 65 to 85 years) were included in the study. The proximal muscle strength was evaluated by MicroFET® 3 device. The muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness were measured using the MyotonPRO® digital palpation device. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level was tested by high-performance liquid chromatography. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to evaluate the potential role of MicroFET® 3-measured proximal muscle strength in the quantification of vitamin D status.
resultsVitamin D sufficient participants had a higher proximal muscle strength (p<0.001). Quadriceps and hamstring elasticity at the non-dominant site were significantly higher in vitamin D sufficient group (p<0.05). The ROC analysis indicated that the deltoid muscle strength had the potential of determining vitamin D insufficiency with moderate accuracy (area under the curve=0.744; 95% confidence interval: 0.643-0.845; p<0.001).
conclusionProximal muscle strength, elasticity, and physical performance are associated with vitamin D status. Proximal muscle strength measured by a hand-held dynamometer can be used as a predictor of hypovitaminosis D in elderly.
