Association of Hand Grip Strength with Ultrasound-derived Forearm Muscle Thickness and Echo Intensity in Young Indian Adults.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Muscle thickness (MT) quantification, which reflects the muscle function, can be measured using ultrasonography. Echo intensity (EI) quantified from the ultrasonography-derived skeletal muscle images reflects muscle quality. This study aimed to analyze the associations between handgrip strength, ultrasound-measured forearm MT, and EI in healthy young adults. Methods: Sixty healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 25 years participated in the study. Brightness mode ultrasonography (USG) was done to measure forearm radial and ulna MT. The EI was measured from an ultrasound image as a mean pixel value using a histogram in Adobe Photoshop. Individuals were tested for forearm handgrip strength using hand dynamometry. Results: Males had higher forearm MT and handgrip strength compared to females. Handgrip strength had a significant positive correlation with forearm radius, ulna MT ( Conclusion: USG can be more easily used than other imaging methods in research and clinical setting as it is nonhazardous, less expensive, versatile, and provides results faster. Thus, USG measurements in skeletal muscle are useful for measuring MT and subcutaneous fat thickness. EI measurement can be a convenient and noninvasive method for assessing muscle quality.
