Identifying preventative measures against frailty, locomotive syndrome, and sarcopenia in young adults: a pilot study.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 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
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to propose potential preventive measures against future mobility impairments and muscle loss in healthy young adults by comprehensively evaluating their status of frailty, locomotive syndrome, and sarcopenia. [Participants and Methods] A total of 83 Japanese young adults were enrolled in this study and evaluated using the diagnostic criteria for frailty (Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study), locomotive syndrome (calculated as scores of the LOCOMO-25, the stand-up test, and two-step test), and sarcopenia (handgrip strength, usual gait test, skeletal muscle index). [Results] The prevalence of frailty-prefrailty (45.9%) was higher than that of presarcopenia (22.3%) and locomotive syndrome (14.1%). The prevalence of combinations of frailty-prefrailty and presarcopenia; frailty-prefrailty and locomotive syndrome; and frailty-prefrailty, locomotive syndrome, and pre-sarcopenia was 9.4%, 4.7%, and 3.5%, respectively. [Conclusion] Only 40% of the participants did not meet the three diagnostic criteria. On the other hand, there were not many participants with sarcopenia and/or locomotive syndrome diagnoses, suggesting that the improvement in intrinsic skeletal muscle mass rather than physical function is important for healthy Japanese young adults and could possibly be protective against future mobility or muscle-loss disorders.
