Association of Micronutrients and Handgrip Strength in Korean Older Population: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Sarcopenia is characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Dynapenia and kratopenia are described as the loss of muscle strength and power. Nutritional intake status is one of the factors affecting the prevention of an age-related muscle decline such as sarcopenia, dynapenia, or kratopenia in older populations. This study aimed to investigate the association between the intake of micronutrients and handgrip strength in 1254 individuals (546 men and 708 women) of the Korean older population from the most recent dataset. They were analyzed and divided into two groups: a LHS group with low handgrip strength (<28 kg for men and <18 kg for women) and a normal group with normal handgrip strength. Logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (Cis) of the associations between micronutrient intakes and low handgrip strength in Korean older population by gender. Among micronutrients, insufficient potassium intake showed a significant association with low handgrip strength for men (OR: 3.159, 95% CI: 1.164−8.578) and women (OR: 2.793, 95% CI: 1.380−5.654) aged ≥65 years, respectively (p = 0.005 for men, p = 0.024 for women), as a result of adjusting for all confounding factors that could affect low handgrip strength. In conclusion, potassium intake among micronutrients in Korean older populations with low handgrip strength might need continuous monitoring for the intervention or prevention of dynapenia or sarcopenia.
