Associations between handgrip strength, motor tasks, and quality of life in older adults with osteoarthritis.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectivesData on the relationship between handgrip strength (HGS), motor functions, and quality of life (QoL) in osteoarthritis (OA) patients are unclear. We aimed to examine the association between physical performance and psychosocial QoL, as measured by the CASP-12 in older adults with OA. STUDY
designThe study utilized data from wave 8 of the survey of health, ageing, and retirement in Europe (SHARE).
methodsHGS and motor activities (walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, fatigue) were assessed as indicators of physical health. We measured QoL using the CASP-12, which captures control, autonomy, self-realization, and pleasure domains, reflecting the psychosocial aspects of mental well-being than clinical psychiatric status. Our participants included 30,923 non-OA and 7591 OA individuals aged 50 and above, from 28 European countries. Descriptive and regression approaches were employed, including reporting of regression coefficients, confidence intervals, standardized βs, and model r
resultsOA participants had significantly lower HGS and CASP-12 scores than non-OA participants (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive association between CASP-12 and HGS in both groups. Among non-OA, r
conclusionMotor activities required for daily living showed stronger associations with lower CASP-12 scores than HGS, highlighting their potential relevance to perceived QoL in older adults with OA.
