Cut-Off Values for Sarcopenia and Mortality Risk in Older Dialysis Patients.

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
Objective: Sarcopenia is a common condition in patients undergoing dialysis, yet appropriate diagnostic thresholds tailored to this population remain unclear. In this context, we investigated which measures related to muscular performance and functional status were most predictive of mortality in this population. Materials and Methods: Hand-grip strength (HGS), skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI), and gait speed (GS) were assessed in relation to 3-year survival. Cox regression analysis was applied, adjusting for age, nutritional status, and serum albumin. Newly determined thresholds were compared with the criteria defined by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2). Results: This study involved 82 dialysis patients (median age: 66 years; 54.9% female). Mortality-related cut-offs were established as follows: HGS (18.0 kg for male, 11.5 kg for female), SMMI (9.0 kg/m Conclusion: The new cut-off values for HGS and GS are superior predictors of mortality in dialysis patients compared to EWGSOP2 standards.
