Association between Sarcopenia and Fall Risk According to the Muscle Mass Adjustment Method in Japanese Older Outpatients.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
We investigated whether the association between sarcopenia and fall risk (FR) differs according to the muscle mass adjustment method in 357 outpatients who were not disabled in the activities of daily living or indicated for orthopedic surgery. Sarcopenia was diagnosed by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria, using adjusting methods of muscle mass by height squared (ht2), body mass index (BMI), or any of these (i.e., ht2-adjusted Sarc", "BMI-adjusted Sarc", or "ht2 and/or BMI-adjusted Sarc, respectively). FR was defined by FR index ≥10. There were 111, 105, and 157 participants with ht2-adjusted, BMI-adjusted, and ht2 and/or BMI-adjusted Sarc, respectively. After multivariable adjustment, ht2 and/or BMI-adjusted Sarc was the most closely associated with FR [odds ratio and 95% confidence interval: 2.94, 1.75-4.93]. Our data suggest that the sarcopenia definition using low ASM/ht2 and/or ASM/BMI muscle mass might better predict adverse outcomes in older patients.
