Association between Grip Strength, Obesity, and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors among the Community-Dwelling Elderly Population in Taiwan.

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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between grip strength, obesity, and cardiometabolic risk factors among elderly individuals with different grip strength statuses and weight statuses in Taiwan. We conducted a series of community-based health surveys among the elderly population in Chiayi County, Taiwan from 2017 to 2019. This is a cross-sectionally designed health check-up program that was conducted by the local public health bureau. Anthropometric characteristics, handgrip strength, diabetes, and cardiometabolic risk profiles were measured using standard methods. This study recruited 3739 subjects (1600 males and 2139 females). The non-obese subjects had lower blood glucose (BG) levels compared to the obese subjects. The BG levels of non-obese and obese subjects were 102.7 ± 25.6 mg/dL vs. 109.1 ± 34.3 mg/dL for males; and 102.8 ± 30.1 mg/dL vs. 112.5 ± 40.3 mg/dL for females (both
