Muscle mass loss is associated with physical dysfunction in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Background: Muscle mass loss is common in long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim was to explore the prevalence and effects of RA disease characteristics in patients with early RA. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out based on a Chinese RA cohort and control subjects. The body composition (BC) was assessed using bioelectric impedance analysis. Myopenia was defined by an appendicular skeletal muscle mass index of ≤ 7.0 kg/m Results: In total, 2017 controls and 1,008 patients with RA were recruited for this study. Among the patients with RA, there were 190 (18.8%) patients with early RA, with a median disease duration of 7 (4, 11) months. The matched patients with early RA ( Conclusion: Our data indicate the importance of early detection of muscle involvement in the early stage of RA and imply the significance of early aggressive control of disease activity for the prevention of myopenia and physical dysfunction in patients with early RA. Our study provides a new perspective on RA management.
