1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a disease characterized by various metabolic disorders and increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Osteosarcopenia (OS) is the name given to conditions where osteopenia/osteoporosis (OP) and sarcopenia coexist. In this study, the relationship between MetS and bones assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and muscles assessed by muscle ultrasonography (USG) was investigated.

methodsThe study conducted among patients aged 65 and over who applied to the geriatric outpatient clinic between January 2022 and June 2022. This study was a cross-sectional study. There were 161 patients.

resultsIn the study, 77 (73%) of the patients with MetS were female and the median age of the patients with MetS was 72(9) interquartile range (IQR) years. While OP was present in 18% of patients with MetS, this rate was 41% in those without MetS, and this difference was significant (p = 0.002). There was no difference in OS and sarcopenia rates between the two groups (respectively; p = 0.14, p = 0.09). Gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and transversus abdominis (TA) muscles were significantly thicker in patients with MetS (respectively; p = 0.002, p = 0.003).
