The association between muscle strength and z scores of pulmonary function.
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 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
Z scores and percent predicted values of spirometry parameters are widely used for the evaluation of pulmonary function and detection of respiratory diseases. Decreased pulmonary function should correlate with reduction of muscle strength although it is unclear whether z scores of respiratory parameters are associated with muscle strength. In a cohort of 398 adults, pulmonary function assessment and muscle strength measurement by handgrip strength and physical activity level were evaluated. Probable sarcopenia was defined by muscle strength reduction. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis and ROC curve were applied. The AUC for FEV1 and FVC were significantly greater than the z FEV1 and z FVC (p = 0.0004 and p = 0.0008) respectively. Multivariate regression analysis adjusted for confounders also reported a significant and independent relationship between z FEV1; z FVC and HGS measurements. FEV
