Hand Grip Strength and Likelihood of Moderate-to-Severe Airflow Limitation in the General Population.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background and Objective: Sarcopenia is mainly results from aging; however, it is more prevalent in chronic airway disease such as obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hand grip strength (HGS) can be used as an indicator to evaluate sarcopenia. We aimed to assess the association between HGS and severity of airflow limitation (AFL) in the general population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2014 to 2018. Subjects aged ≥40 years who underwent both spirometry and HGS tests were included. AFL was defined by spirometry revealed forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Results: Among 15,950 subjects, 2277 (14.3%) had AFL with mean FEV Conclusion: Lower HGS is significantly associated with moderate-to-very severe AFL in age-, sex-, and BMI-matched comparisons.
