The Relationship between physical activity, nutritional status, and sarcopenia in community- dwelling older adults with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study.

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
aimThis study was conducted in Urumqi, Xinjiang, to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia and to determine the relationship between physical activity, nutritional status, and sarcopenia among community-dwelling patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
methodsFour hundred eight cases of older people patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the community in Urumqi, Xinjiang, from May to August 2022 were selected for a cross-sectional on-site survey, and general information questionnaires, clinical information surveys, physical function measurements, and criteria developed by the Asian sarcopenia working group in 2019 were selected for diagnosis of sarcopenia, and unifactorial and multifactorial binary Logistic regression were applied to analyze the influencing factors of T2DM combined with sarcopenia in patients with sarcopenia.
resultsAmong the 408 patients, 84 (20.6%) had sarcopenia, with a prevalence of 12.6%, 32.1%, and 51.9% in those aged 60-70, 71- 80, and 81 or older respectively. The prevalence increased significantly with age. Adjusting for variables, the study found that FFM of the Left Leg (OR: 0.710, 95% CI: 0.612-0.804, P = 0.024), FFM of the Right Arm (OR: 0.710, 95% CI: 0.612-0.804, P < 0.001), Age (OR: 1.246, 95% CI: 1.031-1.505, P = 0.023), Fasting Blood Glucose (OR: 1.649, 95% CI: 1.066-2.550, P = 0.025), and Post-Prandial Blood Glucose (OR: 1.455, 95% CI: 0.999-2.118, P = 0.025) were independent associated factors. An increase in MNA score (OR: 0.398, 95% CI: 0.244-0.6500, P < 0.001), ASMI (OR: 0.000, 95% CI: 0.00-0.01, P < 0.001) walking energy expenditure (MET-min) (OR: 0.998, 95% CI: 0.996-0.999, P = 0.001) reduced the prevalence of sarcopenia.
conclusionThis study shows that increased age, increased skeletal muscle mass index, decreased right arm FFM, increased postprandial glucose, increased MNA scores, and increased walking energy expenditure (MET-min) were associated with type 2 diabetes with sarcopenia.
