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

Objective: Sarcopenia significantly impacts quality of life and increases morbidity in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the association between Living habits, physical activity levels, and sarcopenia in this population. Methods: A cross-sectional study included 65 older adults with T2DM from a tertiary hospital in Shanxi Province, China. Dietary habits were assessed using a 3-day dietary recall method. Physical activity levels were quantified using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and categorized (high/moderate/low) based on metabolic equivalent (MET)-minutes/week. Sleep patterns were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), with regular sleep defined as 7-9 h nightly and a PSQI score ≤ 5. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria. Participants were categorized into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups. Clinical data were compared, and multivariate logistic regression analyzed associations between lifestyle factors, physical activity, and sarcopenia. Results: The proportions of regular exercise, regular sleep, balanced diet, and high physical activity were significantly lower in the sarcopenia group ( Conclusion: Living habits and physical activity levels are significantly associated with sarcopenia risk in older adults with T2DM, suggesting potential targets for prevention strategies.
