The role of shear wave elastography in diagnosing sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo assess the utility of shear wave elastography (SWE) for the diagnosis of sarcopenia in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
methodsIn this study, we measured the shear wave velocity (SWV) in the medial gastrocnemius muscle (GCM) in both the relaxed and stretched states via SWE. The study involved 273 T2D patients at Zhongda Hospital Southeast University and was conducted between March 2022 and June 2023. In addition to the SWV, we evaluated the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), muscle strength as measured by handgrip strength, and gait speed as measured by the 6-meter walk test. We analyzed the relationships between conventional sarcopenia indicators and SWV variables and developed diagnostic models based on significant predictors.
resultsThe age of the patients ranged from 60 to 72 years, with a median age of 66 years, and nearly half (48.0%, n = 131) were female. On the basis of the 2019 criteria set by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS), the participants were categorized into nonsarcopenia (212, 77.7%) and sarcopenia (61, 22.3%) groups. There was a notable difference in the SWV between those with and without sarcopenia (p < 0.01). A robust positive correlation was identified between traditional sarcopenia indicators and the SWV
conclusionOur findings suggest that SWE could be a valuable tool for the objective assessment of sarcopenia in T2D patients. However, additional large-scale, multicenter, and prospective studies are warranted to validate these results.
