Physical and inflammatory aspects associated to respiratory sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To investigate the relationship between respiratory sarcopenia with physical tests and a set of inflammatory biomarkers, seventy-one older women from the community with age 75 ± 7 years and BMI 26 ± 4 kg/m² were evaluated for appendicular lean mass using Dual X-ray Absorptiometry, respiratory muscle strength using an analog manuvacuometer, physical tests using handgrip strength, timed up and go and sit to stand in chair tests, and a panel of inflammatory biomarkers was measured, containing Adiponectin, BNDF, IFN, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, Leptin, Resistin, TNF and their soluble receptors sTNFr-1 and sTNFr-2. The analyzes suggest that older women with respiratory sarcopenia also had significantly low physical function and higher concentrations of sTNFr-2 (> 2241pg/ml), additionally respiratory muscle strength was inversely associated with sTNFr-2 concentrations (MIP: β = -0.48; R² = 0.24; p < 0.001; MEP: β = -0.35; R² = 0.12; p = 0.003). These results contribute to the discussion about the pathophysiology and to the strategies for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women.
