Assessing Stroke-Related Sarcopenia in Chronic Stroke: Identification of Clinical Assessment Tools-A Pilot Study.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Stroke-related sarcopenia has recently been defined as the muscle atrophy consequent to stroke and assessing it following the guidelines with simple clinical tools is crucial in chronic stroke survivors. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of patient-friendly instruments sarcopenia in a chronic stroke sample (SG) compared to non-stroke counterparts (CG). Each participant underwent a single assessment which consisted of: SARC-F questionnaire, assessment of muscle strength (hand grip and five-times sit-to-stand test, 5STS), the calf circumference (CC) of both legs, the short physical performance battery (SPPB), and the 10 m walk test. A total of 68 participants were included (SG, n = 34 and CG, n = 34). All variables showed statistical differences (
