Serum Adiponectin and Leptin Is Not Related to Skeletal Muscle Morphology and Function in Young Women.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adipokines secreted from adipose tissue, such as adiponectin and leptin, enhance skeletal muscle metabolism. Animal studies have shown that adipokine knockout leads to a reduction in muscle function. Muscle function is determined by muscle size and quality; therefore, it is speculated that lower adipokine levels affect skeletal muscle size and quality, eventually leading to lower muscle function. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between adipokines and skeletal muscle morphology and function in young individuals. A total of 21 young women participated in this study. Adiponectin and leptin levels were analyzed using fasting blood samples from all participants. B-mode ultrasound images of the thigh and calf were obtained, and the muscle thickness and echo intensity were measured in the vastus lateralis (VL) and medial gastrocnemius (MG). The shear modulus was measured from the VL and MG using shear wave elastography. Knee extension and plantar flexion peak torques were measured as muscle functions. Adiponectin and leptin were not related to echo intensity, shear modulus, and muscle thickness in the VL and MG (r
