Co-Production of A Culturally Tailored Sarcopenia Screening Programme for Older Adults in Luton, UK: A Mixed-Methods Feasibility Study Protocol.
Article in Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls, 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
Sarcopenia is an age-related skeletal muscle disorder associated with frailty, falls, hospitalisation and mortality. Despite its clinical and public health importance, there is currently no structured sarcopenia screening programme in the United Kingdom, and uptake of preventive health interventions is often lower among ethnic minority populations. This study aims to co-produce a culturally tailored sarcopenia screening programme for community-dwelling older adults in a multi-ethnic UK setting. The study follows the Medical Research Council framework for complex interventions and comprises four phases: a mixed-methods systematic review to explore cultural attitudes toward screening; qualitative focus groups with older adults, stakeholders and healthcare professionals; co-production workshops using the Behaviour Change Wheel to design the intervention; and a small-scale feasibility study. Screening will be conducted using the SARC-Calf tool. Feasibility outcomes include recruitment, retention, completion rates and acceptability, while secondary outcomes include prevalence of probable sarcopenia and referral uptake to an existing community exercise programme. This study will provide evidence on the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally tailored sarcopenia screening programme and inform future large-scale evaluations.
