The impact of metabolic syndrome on changes in trunk muscle CSA: a 10-year longitudinal study.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 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
introductionFew studies have investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and muscle loss over a 10-year period in large working populations. This study aimed to investigate the influence of MetS-related and respiratory factors on changes in trunk muscles in the working population. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the psoas major (PM) and erector spinae (ES) were measured using abdominal low-dose CT imaging at baseline and at 10 years. Predictors of CSA loss were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis.
resultsA total of 1504 males were included. The change in the CSA of the PM at 10 years decreased significantly with increasing age, BMI, abdominal circumference, visceral fat area (VFA), systolic blood pressure (sBP), and HbA1c. The change in the CSA of the ES at 10 years decreased significantly with increasing age, weight, BMI, abdominal circumference, VFA, sBP, HbA1c, and LDL level. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that VFA and HbA1c were independently associated with PM loss, while a lower percentage vital capacity (%VC) was associated with ES loss. The ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1.0%) at baseline was identified as a significant predictor of PM loss for individuals with MetS.
conclusionAmong MetS-related factors, VFA and HbA1c were associated with trunk muscle CSA loss over 10 years in the working population. Furthermore, in individuals with MetS, lower FEV1.0% was associated with PM loss.
