Total and regional appendicular skeletal muscle mass prediction from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry body composition models.

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
Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, frailty, and cachexia have in common skeletal muscle (SM) as a main component of their pathophysiology. The reference method for SM mass measurement is whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) appendicular lean mass (ALM) serves as an affordable and practical SM surrogate. Empirical equations, developed on relatively small and diverse samples, are now used to predict total body SM from ALM and other covariates; prediction models for extremity SM mass are lacking. The aim of the current study was to develop and validate total body, arm, and leg SM mass prediction equations based on a large sample (N = 475) of adults evaluated with whole-body MRI and DXA for SM and ALM, respectively. Initial models were fit using ordinary least squares stepwise selection procedures; covariates beyond extremity lean mass made only small contributions to the final models that were developed using Deming regression. All three developed final models (total, arm, and leg) had high R
