Role of a Urinary Biomarker in the Common Mechanism of Physical Performance and Cognitive Function.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionHealthy aging is described as a process of developing and maintaining intrinsic abilities, including physical and cognitive functions. Although oxidative stress is a common mechanism shared by loss of muscle strength and dementia, its relationship with decreased physical performance and cognitive impairment remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of urinary 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoGsn), a biomarker of oxidative damage to RNA, in physical and cognitive decline.
methodsThe study followed a cross-sectional design and recruited 40-94-year-old inhabitants of Beijing, China (471 men and 881 women). The physical performance of the participants was assessed using handgrip strength, walking speed, and the repeated chair stand test. The cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) 5-min protocol. Urinary 8-oxoGsn levels were measured for all participants.
resultsParticipants with high urinary 8-oxoGsn levels were more likely to have low grip strength, slow walking speed, poor performance in the repeated chair stand test, and low scores on the MoCA 5-min protocol (odds ratio [OR] 3.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.52-7.76; OR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.16-2.53; OR 2.06, 95% CI: 0.92-4.63; OR 1.75, 95% CI: 1.18-2.58), after adjusting for age, sex, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, cerebro-cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease.
conclusionElevated levels of oxidative stress are independently associated with cognitive and physical impairment. Thus, these results can help in the early identification and development of strategies for the prevention and treatment of intrinsic capacity decline.
