The mediating effect of handgrip strength on the association between sleep duration and basal metabolic rate in middle-aged and older adults: evidence from the China health and retirement longitudinal study.

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
Background: Anomalies in basal metabolic rate (BMR) among middle-aged and older populations can lead to various metabolism-related diseases, presenting a significant global public health challenge. The association and mechanism between sleep duration and BMR remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of handgrip strength in the relationship between sleep duration and BMR. Methods: The study utilized data from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), comprising 10,161 participants aged 45 and older. The mediating effect of handgrip strength on the relationship between sleep duration and BMR was analyzed using linear regression model and bootstrap method. Results: After controlling for confounding variables, a positive correlation was observed between sleep duration and BMR, with standardized regression coefficients ( Conclusion: The study identified significant positive correlations between sleep duration and BMR, as well as handgrip strength and BMR, with handgrip strength mediating the relationship between sleep duration and BMR.
