Does Regional Muscle Distribution Predict Functional Capacity? Sex-Specific Insights from Bioimpedance and Performance Testing.
Article in Muscles (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundThe relationships between segmental body composition and multidimensional performance outcomes remain insufficiently characterized in adults with limited but regular physical activity. This study examined associations between body composition parameters and functional test performance, while identifying sex-based differences.
methodsForty-seven adults (31 women, 16 men; age 48.04 ± 11.33 years) underwent segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis and functional assessments including handgrip strength, isometric plank endurance, and single-leg balance. Correlations and sex comparisons statistical tests were performed.
resultsStrong positive correlations were observed between segmental muscle mass and handgrip strength (r = 0.74-0.84,
conclusionsSegmental muscle mass shows strong associations with strength and moderate associations with core endurance, while adipose tissue exhibits inverse relationships. Pronounced sexual dimorphism exists in both body composition and functional capacity.
