Cutoff Value of Psoas Muscle Area as Reduced Muscle Mass and Its Association with Acute Pancreatitis in China.

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
Objective: The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) has proposed criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition, one of which is reduced muscle mass. Computed tomography (CT) assessment of psoas muscle area (PMA) has been used to estimate muscle mass in patients, including those with acute pancreatitis (AP). The present study aimed to define the cutoff value of PMA indicative of reduced muscle mass in patients with AP and to assess the impact of reduced muscle mass on the severity and early complications of AP. Methods: Clinical data of 269 patients with AP were analyzed retrospectively. The severity of AP was determined according to the revised Atlanta classification. PMA was evaluated by CT and used to calculate the psoas muscle index (PMI). Cutoff values for reduced muscle mass were calculated and validated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between PMA and the severity of AP. Results: PMA was a better indicator of reduced muscle mass than PMI, with cutoff values of 11.50 cm Conclusion: PMA is a good predictor of the severity and complications of AP. The PMA cutoff value is a good indicator of reduced muscle mass.
