Sarcopenia and Anemia in Elderly Koreans: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Sarcopenia and anemia are common diseases in the elderly and are caused by various factors. In this study, the association between sarcopenia and anemia in an elderly Korean population was examined. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's cross-sectional, nationally representative Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES, 2008-2011) served as the source of the data for this study. Of the 2769 participants (1167 men and 1602 women) included in this study, a significant association was found between sarcopenia and anemia in the elderly in Korea. In Model 1, unadjusted for covariates, the prevalence of sarcopenia in all participants was 1.805 (95% CI 1.364-2.388) and 2.746 (95% CI 1.740-4.334) in men, and 1.494 (95% CI 1.045-2.138) in women. In Model 4, adjusted for all covariates, the prevalence of sarcopenia in all participants was 1.455 (95% CI 1.064-1.989) and 2.649 (95% CI 1.475-4.755) in men, but it was insignificant in women. While prior studies failed to consider variables such as exercise status and nutritional intake, this research incorporated these factors as covariates. Despite this comprehensive approach, this study still revealed an independent association between sarcopenia and anemia. Moreover, a significant association was uncovered among elderly men, with no corresponding association identified among women.
