Indicators predicting the development and improvement of sarcopenia in older adults requiring long-term care.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2023. 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
[Purpose] This study aimed to identify factors associated with sarcopenia development and improvement among older adults requiring long-term care. [Participants and Methods] This prospective observational study included 118 older adults requiring long-term care in a single facility. Sarcopenia was assessed according to the 2019 diagnostic criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia at baseline and after 6 months. Nutritional status was measured using calf circumference and the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form to examine the association between sarcopenia onset and improvement. [Results] Risk of malnutrition and lower calf circumference at baseline were significantly associated with sarcopenia development. The study also showed that a non-risk of malnutrition, higher calf circumference, and higher skeletal muscle mass index were significantly associated with improved sarcopenia. [Conclusion] The Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form and calf circumference were able to predict sarcopenia development and improvement in older adults requiring long-term care.
