Association between bone mineral content and sarcopenia in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risk of sarcopenia, which independently contributes to bone fragility, especially among the elderly. Bone mineral content (BMC) is a parameter that helps in the assessment and monitoring of bone mass. This study aims to identify the correlation between BMC and sarcopenia in hospitalized patients with T2DM. Patients and methods: A total of 1,135 inpatients admitted with T2DM in this study and classified into two groups (sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia group). A comparative analysis of clinical data and body composition was performed between the two groups. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the independent association of BMC with sarcopenia. Results: The sarcopenia group showed a lower BMC level than the non-sarcopenia group ( Conclusion: Our results confirmed that in hospitalized patients with T2DM, BMC levels are inversely associated with sarcopenia and may therefore serve as a biomarker for sarcopenia discrimination. But additional studies are needed to confirm and further elucidate our results.
