Sarcopenia is associated with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease in Chinese community-dwelling older men but not in women.

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
objectiveTo determine whether a relationship exists between sarcopenia, including its individual components (muscle mass, muscle strength and gait speed), and mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Chinese older adults.
methodsThis cross-sectional study comprised participants aged ≥60 years from Tianjin and Shanghai, China, who joined a national free physical examination program between 2014 and 2019, and consented to study inclusion. Sarcopenia was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (2019 version). Mild-to-moderate CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 45 ml/min/1.73 m
resultsA total of 1627 participants were included (mean age, 69.32 ± 6.17 years; 43.8% male). Sarcopenia was significantly associated with mild-to-moderate CKD in men but not women. Among three physical performance components, slow gait speed (odds ratio 1.89, 95% confidence interval 1.38, 2.58) was associated with mild-to-moderate CKD in both men and women after adjusting for all other variables.
conclusionsSarcopenia was closely associated with mild-to-moderate CKD in older men, and slow gait speed was related to mild-to-moderate CKD in men and women. These findings may help guide better diagnosis and management of CKD in the context of slow gait speed, and facilitate earlier CKD detection and appropriate intervention in older adults.
