Relationship between Hydration Status and Muscle Catabolism in the Aged Population: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Observational study in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe physiopathology of sarcopenia is still not completely understood.
aimTo assess the relationship between dehydration and skeletal muscle catabolism, muscle mass, and sarcopenia in an aged population.
methodsObservational cross-sectional study of community-dwelling subjects aged 70 years and older. Dehydration was assessed by plasma osmolarity; bioimpedance analysis (BIA) was used to assess body composition and water content; sarcopenia was established according to the EWGSOP-2 criteria; and 3-methyl-histidine (3MH) was used as an indicator of muscle catabolism.
results190 participants were recruited (77.4 years; 51.6% women). In total, 22.6% and 20.5% presented plasma osmolarity of 295-300 mOsm/L and >300 mOsm/L, respectively. Age was correlated with plasma osmolarity (r
conclusionsDehydration is a highly prevalent clinical condition in aged populations, increases with age, and is associated with muscle catabolism but not sarcopenia.
