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

purposeIn this study, we examined the association among total muscle mass, regional muscle mass, muscle quality, and various types of physical performance in community-dwelling older adults.

methodsThis study included 195 community-dwelling older adults (61 males and 134 females). The muscle thickness and echo intensity of the quadriceps femoris and triceps surae were measured using ultrasound, and the skeletal muscle mass index was evaluated using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Physical performance was measured using the 30-s standing test (CS30), Timed up-and-go test (TUG), 10-m maximum walking speed (10MWT), vertical jump test (VJT), and grip strength.

resultsPartial correlation analysis after controlling for age, sex, and body mass index showed that CS30 was significantly correlated with muscle thickness and echo intensity of the quadriceps femoris. The TUG and VJT were significantly correlated with muscle thickness of the triceps surae, and grip strength was significantly correlated with muscle thickness of the triceps surae and skeletal muscle mass index. Stepwise multiple regression analyses indicated that the echo intensity of the quadriceps femoris was a significant predictor of CS30, and the muscle thickness of the triceps surae was a significant predictor of TUG, VJT, and grip strength, whereas the skeletal muscle mass index was not a significant predictor of any physical performance test.

conclusionOur results suggest that regional muscle mass and quality are more important than skeletal muscle mass index for predicting physical performance.
