Diagnostic power of relative sit-to-stand muscle power, grip strength, and gait speed for identifying a history of recurrent falls and fractures in older adults.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeTo compare the diagnostic value of relative sit-to-stand muscle power with grip strength or gait speed for identifying a history of recurrent falls and fractures in older adults.
methodsData from an outpatient clinic included anthropometry (height/weight), bone density, 5 times sit-to-stand time (stopwatch and standardized chair), grip strength (hydraulic dynamometer), and gait speed (4 m). Relative sit-to-stand muscle power (W.kg
results508 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 78 years, interquartile range: 72, 83, 75.2% women) were included. Compared to greater relative sit-to-stand muscle power (1.62-3.78W.kg
conclusionRelative sit-to-stand muscle power performed slightly (but not statistically) better than grip strength or gait speed for identifying a history of recurrent falls and fractures in older adults. However, all tests showed low diagnostic power.
