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

Background: Older adults frequently experience body composition changes-decreased lean body mass (LBM) and bone mineral content (BMC), along with increased body fat mass (FM)-which affect their health and independence. However, the need for standard complex and costly imaging modalities could delay the detection of these changes and retard treatment effectiveness. Thus, this study explored the ability of practical measures, including simple muscle strength tests and demographic data, to determine the body composition of older adults. Methods: Participants ( Results: The ULL-SPUT significantly correlated with body composition ( Conclusion: The ULL-SPUT along with gender and BMI can be used as a practical strategy to detect the LBM and BMC of older adults in various settings. Such a strategy would facilitate timely managements (i.e. standard confirmation or appropriate interventions) in various settings.
