The relationship between skeletal muscle mass and cognitive impairment in older adults: a longitudinal study based on CLHLS.

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
Objective: To explore the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and cognitive impairment in older adults. Methods: Based on the longitudinal survey data of the four phases of the China Older Adults Health Influencing Factors Longitudinal Survey Project from 2008 to 2018, this study used the Cox regression analysis method and the R4.3.3 software to construct a limiting cubic spline model to deeply explore the dose-response relationship between skeletal muscle mass and cognitive impairment in the older adults. Results: In this study, 2,199 older adults (with ages ranging from 61 to 108 years, 51.7% of whom are female and 48.2% are male) were included and followed up for a decade, during which four rounds of data collection were carried out. The results showed that the proportion of new-onset cognitive impairment in men was 14.61%, while the proportion in women was 33.48%. After adjusting for confounding factors, Cox regression results showed that the larger the muscle mass group, the greater the protective effect on cognitive impairment. The results of RCS showed that the association between skeletal muscle mass and cognitive impairment in the older adults group ( Conclusion: There is a link between skeletal muscle mass and cognitive impairment in older adults, and cognitive function can be improved through early intervention or by improving the level of skeletal muscle mass in older adults.
