Association of Low Muscle Mass, Weak Grip Strength, and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Old Ages.
Article in Journal of bone metabolism, 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
backgroundSarcopenia is an age-related disease, and is assumed to be associated with systemic inflammation. We examined the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), an easily accessible inflammatory marker, and sarcopenia in older adults.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study, medical records of patients visiting a tertiary hospital's health check-up center were analyzed. The study included older adults aged 60 and over, and who had their grip strength, skeletal muscle mass, and complete blood count with differential tests measured. In this study, sarcopenia was defined as the presence of both low muscle mass and weak grip strength according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria.
resultsOf the 2,385 participants, 74 participants (3.10%) had sarcopenia. The non-sarcopenia group was younger than the sarcopenia group (mean age, 65.8±5.4 vs. 73.2±7.5). The average NLR of participants without sarcopenia was 1.75±0.97 and the average NLR of participants with sarcopenia was 2.08±1.11 (P=0.004). The number of participants with sarcopenia increased across higher NLR quintile (P for trend=0.016), as well as those with low skeletal muscle mass (P for trend<0.001) and weak grip strength (P for trend=0.009).
conclusionsOlder adults with a high NLR may be considered for sarcopenia screening.
