Lean body mass and stroke volume, a sex issue.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Large vessel occlusions (LVO) account for over 60% of stroke-related mortality and disability. Lean body mass (LBM) represents metabolically active body tissue and has been associated with reduced mortality. This study aimed to investigate whether body composition influences LVO stroke perfusion volumes and whether this effect is sex-specific. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from all patients admitted between January 2017 and January 2022 with LVO ischemic stroke at the Erasmus Hospital (Brussels), for whom anthropometric and perfusion data were available. Body mass index (BMI) and LBM were calculated using, respectively, the Quetelet's and the James' formula. Correlations between body composition and stroke volumes were investigated using Spearman correlations. Results: A total of 152 patients were included in this study. Mean age 72 ± 14y, female ratio 62.5%, core volume 26 ± 38 mL, penumbra volume 104 ± 61 mL. LBM correlated significantly with stroke volumes (penumbra and core) in the entire group (core: Conclusion: LBM significantly impacts LVO stroke volumes, but this effect is observed only in women. LBM may serve as a superior indicator of body composition compared to BMI.
