The Association Between Grip Strength and Depression Among Adults Aged 60 Years and Older: A Large-Scaled Population-Based Study From the Longitudinal Aging Study in India.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Background: The association between grip strength and depression in elderly individuals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has rarely been studied. This study aims to explore the relevance of grip strength and depression in the elderly population using data from a national large-scale population. Methods: This study was conducted using data from seniors over 60 years old in wave 1 of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI). Grip strength is the maximum of three measurements by the dynamometer. Depression symptoms were assessed using 10 items on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10) with a 10-point boundary. Multivariate linear regression analysis, non-linear analysis, subgroup analysis, interaction tests and sensitivity analysis were performed. Results: There were 27,343 participants in this study, including 19,861 participants with low grip strength and 7,482 participants with normal grip strength. The results revealed that grip strength and depression were negatively correlated in elderly individuals after adequate adjustment for confounding factors [odds ratio (OR) = 1.237, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.172-1.305, Conclusion: Grip strength and depression were negatively correlated in older Indians, and larger prospective studies are needed in the future to determine this association.
