Prevalence of sarcopenia in heart failure: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05878106 (Creatine Supplementation and Resistance Training in Patients With Breast Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveHeart Failure (HF) is emerging as a crucial factor promoting muscle wasting and dysfunction contributing to sarcopenia. This modulates disease severity and reduces exercise capacity and leading to poorer outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to systematically investigate the overall prevalence of sarcopenia in HF.
methodsAn electronic search was carried out in selected databases until 21st January, 2021. Data was pooled from the included articles and represented as pooled prevalence of sarcopenia. Subgroup analysis was undertaken between methods of diagnosis of sarcopenia, gender, ejection fraction, median time point and geographical region.
resultsAmongst 32,643 citations imported from selected databases, 12 articles were included in final analysis. Analysis for prevalence of sarcopenia was 34%, with prevalence rates ranging from 10.1% to 68%. Subgroup analysis revealed strong associations between Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) (chi square = 3.24; p < 0.001), with a good level of agreement (kappa = 0.76 [95% CI: 0.70-0.82]; p < 0.001). Gender wise analysis revealed higher prevalence of sarcopenia among males (66%) than females (34%).
conclusionSarcopenia is highly prevalent among those with HF (irrespective of type of HF) and is more commonly seen in males compared to females.
