Association between sarcopenia and suicidal ideation in a nationwide population-based study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sarcopenia may be associated with suicide through various mechanisms, including depression, physical disability, chronic diseases, and myokines. However, research on this topic has been limited. We analyzed individuals who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2008 to 2011 and had available dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry data and information on suicidal ideation. Of the 17,615 individuals, 2,902 (16.5%) were categorized into the suicidal ideation group. Low muscle mass was more prevalent in the suicidal ideation group than in the non-suicidal ideation group (10.8% vs. 7.8%, respectively; p < 0.001). The results of a multiple logistic regression revealed a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) for suicidal ideation in participants with low muscle mass than in those without (OR, 1.25; p = 0.029), after adjusting for various confounding factors. This association was more pronounced in females than in males, and in those aged 50-79 years than in those aged < 50 or ≥ 80 years. Individuals with low muscle mass revealed a substantial association with an increased odd of suicidal ideation in the general Korean population. These results suggest that screening and interventions for sarcopenia may help prevent suicide, particularly among middle-aged females.
