Longitudinal Ultrasound Monitoring of Peripheral Muscle Loss in Neurocritical Patients.

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
Ultrasound has become an important tool that offers clinical and practical benefits in the intensive care unit (ICU). Its real-time imaging provides immediate information to support prognostic evaluation and clinical decision-making. This study used ultrasound assessment to investigate the impact of hospitalization on muscle properties in neurocritical patients and analyze the relationship between peripheral muscle changes and motor sequelae. A total of 43 neurocritical patients admitted to the ICU were included. The inclusion criteria were patients with acute brain injuries with or without motor sequelae. Muscle ultrasonography assessments were performed during ICU admission and hospital discharge. Measurements included muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, and echogenicity of the biceps brachii, quadriceps femoris, and rectus femoris. Statistical analyses were used to compare muscle properties between time points (hospital admission vs. discharge) and between groups (patients with vs. without motor sequelae). Significance was set at 5%. Hospitalization had a significant effect on muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, and echogenicity in patients with and without motor sequelae (
