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

Bioelectrical impedance analysis cannot be used to measure muscle mass in some individuals. We aimed to determine cutoff values for low skeletal muscle mass index in sarcopenia diagnosis, based on the fat-free muscle mass index estimated using body fat percentage prediction equations, without relying on bioelectrical impedance analysis. The study included 564 residents from Wakasa, Fukui Prefecture, with a mean age of 76.0 ± 7.1 years. Body composition assessments using bioelectrical impedance analysis were conducted. Three prediction equations for body fat percentage (Ito
