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

backgroundSarcopenia, an age-related clinical syndrome characterized by reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength, often leads to a loss of physical function. Nucleotides (NTs) supplementation is a potential strategy for preventing age-related sarcopenia as evidence suggests that NTs declined in muscles with aging, and 5'-CMP, 5'-UMP can mitigate muscle atrophy in C2C12 myotubes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of NTs supplementation on sarcopenia and its possible mechanism.

methodsSenescence-accelerated mouse prone-8 (SAMP8) mice and C2C12 cells were used to assess the effect of NTs on sarcopenia. We fed an NTs-enriched mixture to SAMP8 mice starting from the age of 3 months for 9 months or 15 months. NTs' effects on H

resultsThe results demonstrated that NTs significantly increased lean mass/body weight (p < 0.01, η

conclusionsOur findings reveal the protective role of NTs in improving muscle protein balance during ageing, suggesting they may serve as a conditionally essential nutrient for older individuals. Further research is needed to explore the efficacy and safety of NTs supplementation for sarcopenia in humans.
