1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Sarcopenia, an age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is frequent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is linked to a poor prognosis. The diagnosis of sarcopenia requires specific equipment and is inconvenient to introduce into clinical practice. Ultrasound is an innovative method to assess muscle quantity. The objective of this research was to evaluate the use of ultrasound for prospectively screening for sarcopenia in COPD patients. Patients and Methods: A total of 235 stable patients with COPD were included in this observational study and divided into development and validation sets. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia standards were used to define sarcopenia. The thickness (RF Results: Sarcopenia was present in 83 (35.32%) patients. Patients with sarcopenia had advanced age, decreased pulmonary function, decreased physical function and poor clinical outcomes. RF Conclusion: The ultrasound measurement of the rectus femoris has potential for the clinical assessment of sarcopenia in patients with COPD.
