Association of hematological parameters and inflammatory indices with sarcopenia in the United States and China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn this study, we examined the association between hematological parameters and inflammatory indices and sarcopenia in the general population of the United States and China.
methodsThe cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2011-2014) and the Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University (2022-2024). We employed weighted restricted cubic spline (RCS) plots and multivariable logistic regression analyses to explore the association of hematological parameters and inflammatory indices with the prevalence of sarcopenia in American and Chinese populations.
resultsA total of 8805 participants from NHANES, and 2598 individuals from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were included in our analysis. In American and Chinese populations, the roughly J-shaped curve was detected in the RCS plots for mean platelet volume and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio with the risk of sarcopenia. Additionally, the risk of sarcopenia was positively and linearly associated with white blood cells, lymphocytes and platelet, while it was inversely and linearly associated with mean cell volume.
conclusionsWe demonstrated a nonlinear association between some hematological parameters, inflammatory indices and sarcopenia in American and Chinese populations. The need to focus more on hematological parameters and inflammatory indices in the body could provide better prevention strategies for sarcopenia.
