1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 AND

aimsWorldwide, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased. We examined sex-specific patterns in the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with muscle strength and physical function among older Mexican Americans over time. METHODS AND

resultsParticipants (N = 1975) aged ≥65 years (mean = 72.4) were from a longitudinal study of Mexican American older adults (1993/94-2016). Measures collected at each interview included socio-demographics and health status; BMI (independent variable); short physical performance battery (SPPB) and handgrip strength (HGS) (outcomes). Participants were grouped into underweight (<18.5 kg/m

conclusionWe found no sex differences in the trajectories of decline for HGS and physical function. Females and males classed as overweight or class I obesity experienced slower decline in HGS and physical function.
