Muscle quality an evolving concept.
Article in Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Muscle quality concept can be analyzed from a morphological and functional perspectives that include relation between these properties. Morphological muscle quality considers muscle composition, architectural and structural properties. Functional muscle quality has been defined as a ratio between muscle strength or power per unit of muscle mass or area. Biological and adaptative changes to ageing must be considered when interpretation of muscle quality assessment is done in a clinical or research context. One of the conditions that requires an adequate homologation in terminology is sarcopenia, to establish definition and cut-off points.
