Effects of Different Body Postures on Handgrip Strength Measurements Among Young Adults: A Preliminary Comparison of Standing, Chair-Seated, and Wheelchair-Seated Positions.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07562854 (Comparison of Hand Grip Strength in Different Shoulder Positions in Geriatric Individuals), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionAlthough the influence of posture on handgrip strength measurement has been previously reported, no study has examined the wheelchair-seated position. This study aimed to compare handgrip strength values between the standing, chair-seated, and wheelchair-seated positions. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective observational study was conducted between May and June 2025 and included 29 university medical students from the International University of Health and Welfare in Otawara, Japan. Handgrip strength was measured under three conditions, i.e., standing, chair-seated, and wheelchair-seated, at one-week intervals. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc comparisons.
resultsHandgrip strength values were 36.2 ± 10.2 kg in the standing position, 35.0 ± 10.0 kg in the chair-seated position, and 34.1 ± 9.6 kg in the wheelchair-seated position, showing a descending order from standing to chair-seated to wheelchair-seated. The handgrip strength in the wheelchair-seated position was significantly lower than that in the standing position. When the standing position was defined as 100%, the relative values were 97.0 ± 8.3% for chair-seated and 94.8 ± 8.0% for wheelchair-seated, with the handgrip in the wheelchair-seated significantly lower than that in the standing position.
conclusionsHandgrip strength was influenced by body posture during measurement. To ensure accurate evaluation of longitudinal changes and intervention effects in the same individual, it is important to standardize the postural conditions during handgrip strength testing.
