Prevalence and risk factors of possible sarcopenia in patients with subacute stroke.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Possible sarcopenia, the loss of handgrip strength in the older population, can lead to poor functional prognosis after stroke. In this retrospective study, we aimed to elucidate the clinical risk factors for possible sarcopenia at discharge in 152 hospitalized patients with subacute stroke. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors associated with possible sarcopenia. At the time of discharge, the prevalence of possible sarcopenia was 68.4%. After adjusting for all potential covariates, older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.21; p = 0.04), tube-dependent feeding (OR, 6.66; 95% CI, 1.11-39.84; p = 0.04), and high National Institute of Health Stroke Scale scores (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.00-1.44; p = 0.04) were associated with a higher likelihood of possible sarcopenia at discharge. Higher nonhemiplegic calf circumference (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67-0.96; p = 0.02) was associated with a lower likelihood of possible sarcopenia. We conclude that tube feeding, high stroke severity, decreased nonhemiplegic calf circumference, and older age are independent risk factors for possible sarcopenia in patients with subacute stroke.
