Multivariable reference centiles for maximum grip strength in childhood to young adults.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesMaximum grip strength (mGS) is a useful predictor of health-related outcomes in children and adults. The aim of the study was to generate sex- and age-adjusted reference centiles for mGS for children, adolescents and young adults, while adjusting for body height and body mass index (BMI).
methodsA retrospective analysis of longitudinal data from children and young adults participating in the DOrtmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed (DONALD) study (single center, open cohort study) from 2004 to 2022 was conducted. To generate sex-, age-, height- and BMI-adjusted reference centiles, a new algorithm combining multiple linear regression and the LMS method was conducted.
resultsOverall, 3325 measurements of mGS of 465 females and 511 males were eligible. The mean age at measurement of females was 12.6 ± 3.9 years, mean age of males was 12.4 ± 4.7 years. The median of number of repeated measurements per individual was 3 (range 1-8). The mGS was significantly (p < 0.001) correlated to body height and BMI (r = 0.303-0.432). Additional reference centiles for the change of z-scores of mGS were generated for children and young adults from 8 to 20 years.
conclusionsWe proposed to evaluate mGS in children, adolescents and young adults with the presented reference centiles adjusted to sex, age, height and BMI. The method presented may also be applicable to other biological variables that depend more than just on sex and age. For the first time, also reference centiles to assess the change of mGS in repeated measurements were presented.
