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

aimThe phase angle (PhA), assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), is becoming increasingly popular as an index of muscle quality associated with various health-related outcomes. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between PhA and sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), which were objectively measured using accelerometers in older adults with disabilities requiring care.

methodsWe recruited 90 older adults (39 men and 51 women, mean age of 78.7 ± 6.7 years) with disabilities under the long-term care insurance system. Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and PhA of the lower limbs were measured using a multifrequency BIA instrument. Daily durations of SB, LPA, and MVPA per day were measured using a triaxial accelerometer. Nutritional status was assessed using the long form of the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA).

resultsThe MVPA duration was significantly associated with lower limb PhA after adjusting for age, sex, SB and LPA durations, MNA score, and medical history (p = 0.037), whereas SB and LPA durations were not associated with lower limb PhA. The duration of SB, LPA, and MVPA were not significantly associated with lower limb SMI, whereas the MNA score was.

conclusionsLower limb PhA, but not lower limb SMI, was associated with MVPA duration, independent of nutritional status and medical history. Enhancing the duration of MVPA is needed to maintain the PhA and prevent further decline in physical function in older adults who require long-term care due to disabilities.
