Temporal Trends in Handgrip Strength and Associated Factors among Korean Adults from 2014 to 2019: Analysis of Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Data.

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: This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze temporal trends in handgrip strength (HGS) from 2014 to 2019 and explore potential contributors to such trends among Korean adults. Methods: This study analyzed data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2014-2019, among Korean adults aged ≥ 20 years (n = 20,038). Employing multiple linear regression models, we examined the influence of nutritional quality (mean nutrient adequacy ratio [MAR]), physical activity levels (metabolic equivalent of task [MET]), depressive symptoms, and sociodemographic factors on HGS. Higher MAR and MET values indicate better nutritional quality and greater physical activity, respectively. Temporal trends in HGS were also examined over the study period. Results: A significant decline in HGS was observed over the study period, with a mean decrease of 2.28 kg ( Conclusions: This study identified a significant decline in HGS among Korean adults between 2014 and 2019, in parallel with reductions in physical activity and nutritional quality. Efforts to reverse these trends are required for preserving functional health at the population level. Continuous monitoring of HGS trends might support the assessment of national health status.
