Correlation Between Skin Autofluorescence and Muscle Activities of Lower Limb in Aging Without Disease and Disability.
Article in Gerontology & geriatric medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Skin autofluorescence is a useful index to estimate the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products in human tissues. Elderly persons with higher skin autofluorescence have lower muscle mass, muscle strength and muscle power, however, little is known about the relationship between the skin autofluorescence level and each muscle activity. We measured the values of skin autofluorescence from five places on a lower limb, and the signals of surface electromyogram during isometric contractions from five muscles on that, simultaneously. The waveforms of surface electromyogram were analyzed by Daubechies-4 wavelet transformation. The value of skin autofluorescence was increased in the proximal part of the lower limb compared with the value of the distal part. The principal component of surface electromyogram activity in a time-frequency domain was lower in the proximal part compared with that of the distal part. There was a weak negative correlation between the value of skin autofluorescence on the gluteal region and the value of the mean wavelet coefficient of the surface electromyogram signals within the gluteus maximus muscle. The higher accumulation of advanced glycation end-products on the gluteal region might suggest the lower muscle activity in aging without disease and disability.
