Muscle-specific strength and its functional correlates in patients with osteosarcopenia.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
methodsOne hundred seventy patients were enrolled in this study and 141 patients were analyzed. Hand grip strength (HGS) was measured with Jamar dynamometer, muscle mass was measured with ultrasound, and sarcopenia diagnosis based on low muscle strength and low muscle mass. Muscle specific strength is calculated as HGS to muscle thickness (kg/cm) and cross-sectional area (kg/cm
resultsMean age of the patients was 76.86 ± 6.74 and 121 (71.2%) were female. Ten percent of the patients was osteoporotic, 25.9% was sarcopenic and 27.1% was osteosarcopenic. In patients with osteosarcopenia, HGS/ Rectus femoris thickness (kg/cm) was 11.35 (2.47-37.5); HGS / Rectus femoris cross sectional area (kg/cm2) was 5.16 (0.82-27.3) and HGS/ Quadriceps femoris thickness (kg/cm) was 5.4 (1.43-13.04). When compared to control, osteoporosis and sarcopenia groups, muscle specific strength was lower in the osteosarcopenia group (p < 0.001, p = 0.009, p < 0.001, respectively). Linear regression analyses revealed that muscle specific strength was significantly associated with timed up and go (TUG) (β = - 0.236, p = 0.030) and L1-L4 T score (β = - 0.233, p = 0.032).
conclusionMuscle specific strength- especially rectus femoris and quadriceps femoris thickness-is associated with TUG and L1-L4 scores in osteosarcopenia patients.
