Reference method matters: DXA system differences influence agreement with 3D optical imaging body composition estimates.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is often used as the reference method for calibrating and validating other clinically useful body composition devices, although previous studies report DXA system differences in component estimates. This study evaluated the hypothesis that body composition estimates, specifically percent body fat (BF%), acquired with a method such as 3D optical (3DO) imaging might lead to varying conclusions when judged against different DXA systems and software versions.
methodsBF% was evaluated in healthy adult participants with a 3DO imaging system (Size Stream, Mobile Fit) and three DXA systems (Hologic Horizon A [Apex 4.0.2] and Discovery A [Apex 5.6.1.3]), and GE Lunar iDXA [enCore 13.60.033] on the same day. Agreement between BF% estimates by 3DO and each DXA system was evaluated with multiple statistical procedures.
resultsNinety-nine participants completed all four evaluations. Linear correlations (r and R
conclusionsOur findings indicate that conclusions related to a clinical body composition method's accuracy depend on the specific DXA device and associated software version chosen to serve as the reference method.
