Cross-Sectional Associations between Clinical Biochemistry and Nutritional Biomarkers and Sarcopenic Indices of Skeletal Muscle in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
Article in The Journal of nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundInvestigating relationships between nutritional and clinical biochemistry biomarkers and skeletal muscle mass, strength and function (sarcopenic indices) may 1) highlight micronutrients of interest for potential preventive or treatment strategies for sarcopenia, or 2) highlight biomarkers that may be useful for identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia.
objectivesInvestigate associations between nutritional biomarkers (vitamin D, vitamin B
methodsUsing multivariable linear regression analysis, we investigated cross-sectional associations between biomarkers and sarcopenic indices in data collected from 1761 participants (age 22-103 y) from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
resultsHemoglobin was positively associated with ALM (β = 0.20, P = 0.021), HGS
conclusionsThe associations found between measures of iron status and creatinine and sarcopenic indices, in males in particular, indicate potential importance for muscle health. Future longitudinal and intervention studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
