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: Sarcopenia negatively impacts quality of life. It is unclear whether different measures of muscle size, strength, physical performance, and fitness have similar associations with quality of life. Objective: To describe associations of sarcopenia metrics with quality of life outcomes. Participants: Community-dwelling adults aged 70+ years participating in the SOMMA (Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging) study. Design and settings: Two academic medical centers. Measurements: Measures included muscle size (MRI- muscle volume. D Results: Walking tests and physical performance were most consistently (but modestly) associated with overall quality of life (r~0.2, p<.001) and its subcomponents. Both men and women several sarcopenia and fitness measures were more strongly associated with pain and usual activity than other QOL components. Conclusions: Poor performance, lower fitness and lower strength are related to worse quality of life, particularly pain, in older adults. Future studies should quantify these relationships longitudinally.
