Relative Grip Strength and Muscle-Strengthening Activity: Independent and Joint Associations with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Journal of obesity & metabolic syndrome, 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
Background: Grip strength and muscle-strengthening activity (MSA) have been independently associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, analyses that consider grip strength in conjunction with MSA, while factoring in age and sex as well, are limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association of relative grip strength (RGS) and MSA, separately and in combination, with T2DM, considering differences in age and sex. Methods: A total of 27,702 participants aged 19 years and older were included from 2014 to 2021 from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The association between RGS, MSA, and T2DM was assessed using logistic regression analysis. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for the independent and joint associations of RGS and MSA on T2DM prevalence. Results: Highest (Q4) RGS levels were independently associated with lower odds of T2DM (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.32 to 0.46; Conclusion: Higher RGS and engaging in MSA 2 to 3 days per week are independently associated with lower likelihood of T2DM. The combined association of normal RGS and MSA 2 days or more per week shows the greatest benefit for T2DM prevention.
