1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) and sarcopenia are common musculoskeletal disorders in the aged population, and a growing body of evidence indicated that they mutually influence one another. Nevertheless, there was still substantial controversy and uncertainty about the causal relationship between sarcopenia and OA. We explored the complex association between sarcopenia-related traits and OA using cross-sectional analysis and Mendelian randomization (MR).

methodsThe cross-sectional study used the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014. Weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression and subgroup analyses were used to evaluate the correlation between sarcopenia, grip, appendicular lean mass (ALM) and the risk of OA. Then, we further performed MR analysis to examine the causal effect of sarcopenia-related traits (grip strength, ALM) on OA. Instrumental variables for grip strength and ALM were from the UK Biobank, and the summary-level data for OA was derived from the Genetics of Osteoarthritis (GO) Consortium GWAS (n = 826,690).

resultsIn this cross-sectional analysis, we observed that sarcopenia, grip were significantly linked with the risk of OA (OR 1.607, 95% CI 1.233-2.094, P < 0.001), (OR 0.972, 95% CI 0.964-0.979, P < 0.001). According to subgroup analyses stratified by gender, body mass index (BMI), and age, the significant positive relationship between sarcopenia and OA remained in males, females, the age (46-59 years) group, and the BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m

conclusionsOur research provided evidence that sarcopenia is correlated with an increased risk of OA, and there was a protective impact of genetically predicted grip strength on OA. These findings needed to be verified in further prospective cohort studies with a large sample size.
