Influence of sarcopenia on functional independence and depression in older adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of exercise rehabilitation, 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
Differences in physical function, encompassing activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and depression were evaluated across degrees of sarcopenic severity in older adults. A total of 236 participants (78.72±6.92 years), comprising 101 men and 135 women, were classified into four groups: no sarcopenia (23.7%), possible sarcopenia (26.3%), sarcopenia (28.0%), and severe sarcopenia (22.0%). Sarcopenic measures included calf girth, grip strength, 5-time chair stand test, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass. Functional status was assessed using Barthel Index for ADL and Lawton & Brody index for IADL, while depression was measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15. All sarcopenic indices differed significantly between groups, with large effect sizes (
