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

backgroundSarcopenia is an age-related condition characterized by declines in muscle strength and muscle mass associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. Nutrition risk may contribute to sarcopenia development; however, its relationship with sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults, especially those living in retirement homes or with subjective cognitive impairment, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and its indicators using the EWGSOP2 criteria in community-dwelling older adults with cognitive impairment and those living in retirement homes and examine associations between nutrition risk and probable sarcopenia.

methodsA secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from 326 adults aged ≥55 years was conducted. Sarcopenia was assessed using the EWGSOP2 Find-Assess-Confirm-Severity framework and nutrition risk was measured using SCREEN-14 and the Nutrition Risk Rating Score (NRRS).

resultsOverall, 37.0% of participants were at risk for sarcopenia, and 26.9%, 5.5%, and 4.3% were classified with probable, confirmed, and severe sarcopenia, respectively. Retirement home residents were more likely to meet criteria for sarcopenia risk, low grip strength, and slow gait speed (all

conclusionsThese findings suggest that sarcopenia risk is common in these populations but confirmed sarcopenia is low using the EWGSOP2 framework. Nutrition risk as assessed by a dietitian using a comprehensive assessment is associated with probable sarcopenia.
