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

Ultrasound is a useful tool for assessing muscle status. Estimation equations based on ultrasound measurements have been used to approximate appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM). However, age-related changes in skeletal muscle may influence the accuracy of ultrasound-based measurements, as compared to other established techniques. This study aimed to examine these associations across various age groups and to determine whether age-specific models are required for ASM estimation. A total of 265 subjects were analyzed and divided into three age groups: young (Group A,
