Healthy Dietary Patterns and Risk of Sarcopenia in Adults Aged > 50 Years: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Considering EWGSOP1 and EWGSOP2 Criteria.
Synthesis in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesSarcopenia is characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Little is known about the dietary patterns and sarcopenia association. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between dietary patterns and the risk of sarcopenia in adults over 50 years old, using the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People, EWGSOP1 and EWGSOP2 criteria.
methodsThis review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024423323). A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library (July 2024-February 2025). Observational studies in adults aged 50-85 years assessing a priori or a posteriori dietary patterns were included. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis. I
resultsEleven studies were included (
conclusionsHealthy dietary patterns, particularly the MD, are associated with a lower risk of sarcopenia in adults over 50 years old and represent a promising nutritional strategy for sarcopenia prevention.
