Toe Grip strength declines earlier than hand grip strength and knee extension strength in community-dwelling older men: a cross sectional study.
Article in Journal of foot and ankle research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to examine the age-related changes in the toe grip strength and its differences from hand grip strength and knee extension strength using cross-sectional data.
methodsOf participants aged 65 years over who underwent health checkups for lifestyle-related diseases in 2018, 307 men and women met the criteria. Toe grip strength, hand grip strength, and knee extension strength were also measured as optional tests. The participants were divided into five groups categorized by every 5 years of age (Group 65-85). The data were analyzed with multiple comparisons using the linear mixed multilevel model to examine the following categories: association between age and muscle strength, differences in the pattern of change, and gender, using the 65-69 years group as a reference.
resultsIn men, there were interaction effects between the factors of age and muscle, but in women there were not. Toe grip strength was significantly lower in Group 70, 75, 80, and 85 in men, lower in Group 85 than in 65 in women. Hand grip strength was significantly lower in Group 85 than in 65 in both men and women. There was no significant difference in knee extension strength among the age groups for both men and women.
conclusionsThe decline in toe grip strength may occur earlier and in a different pattern from hand grip strength and knee extension strength in men.
