Association between asymmetric dimethylarginine and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of endothelium nitric oxide synthesis and causes endothelial dysfunction that may be related to sarcopenia. However, the association between ADMA and sarcopenia has not been studied. We evaluated the correlations between plasma ADMA levels and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women. In total, 144 community-dwelling older women participated in this study. Plasma ADMA levels were measured using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Skeletal muscle mass, measured in terms of bioimpedance and grip strength, was used to assess sarcopenia. Plasma ADMA levels were significantly higher in participants with sarcopenia than in those without sarcopenia. Through receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, the cutoff value of plasma ADMA level for sarcopenia was estimated at 0.57 μM. Sarcopenia was significantly more prevalent in participants with higher plasma ADMA levels than in those with lower plasma ADMA levels. According to logistic regression analysis, the crude odds ratio of higher plasma ADMA levels in participants with sarcopenia was 4.57 (95% confidence interval, 1.82-11.47; p = 0.001). Reductions in the skeletal muscle mass index over 2 years were significantly greater in participants with higher plasma ADMA levels. In conclusion, plasma ADMA levels were significantly associated with sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women.
