Association Between Handgrip Strength and Mortality of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundMuscular strength has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease in the community population. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the association between weak handgrip strength (HGS) and mortality risk in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
methodsTo carry out the meta-analysis, an extensive search was conducted on databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and CNKI to identify observational studies with longitudinal follow-up. Random-effects models were used to combine the findings, taking into account the potential influence of heterogeneity.
resultsEight observational studies involving 10 543 patients with CAD were included. During a mean follow-up duration of 20.4 months, 1327 (12.6%) patients died. Pooled results showed that weak HGS at baseline was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality during follow-up (risk ratio [RR]: 1.95, 95% confidence interval: 1.50 to 2.55, p < 0.001; I
conclusionsWeak HGS at baseline is associated with an increased risk of mortality in patients with CAD, particularly in older patients with CAD.
