Handgrip strength as a potential indicator of aging: insights from its association with aging-related laboratory parameters.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Introduction: The aging process is frequently associated with a decline in functional capacity, endurance, muscle quality, and overall quality of life. Examining aging-related biomarkers often requires significant time and financial resources, underscoring the need for a straightforward and practical indicator. This study aims to investigate the association between handgrip strength and aging-related laboratory parameters in the elderly population of Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 109 participants aged 60-82 years. Handgrip strength was measured using a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer and Jamar PLUS+ digital dynamometer. Aging-related laboratory biomarkers were defined as those indicating physiological aging processes. Results: The study revealed a significant association between handgrip strength and several aging-related laboratory parameters, including leukocyte count, absolute neutrophil count, absolute lymphocyte count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Discussion: These findings suggest that handgrip strength could serve as a cost-effective, non-invasive predictor of aging-related health status in older adults. Its practical utility highlights its potential for guiding health interventions targeting the elderly population.
