Reliability and responsiveness of musculoskeletal ultrasound in subjects with and without spinal cord injury.
Article in Ultrasound in medicine & biology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03822221 (What is the Best Joint Angle of the Knee and Hip to Optimize the Neuromuscular and Tendinous Adaptations Induced by Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of the Femoral Quadriceps? Implications for Rehabilitation), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers.
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.

Abstract
Rehabilitation after spinal cord injury (SCI) aims to preserve the integrity of the paralyzed musculoskeletal system. The suitability of ultrasound (US) for delineating training-related muscle/tendon adaptations after SCI is unknown. The purpose of this study was to quantify within- and between-operator reliability for US and to determine its responsiveness to post-training muscle/tendon adaptations in SCI subjects. Two novice operators and one experienced operator obtained sonographic images of the vastus lateralis, patellar tendon, soleus, and Achilles tendon from seven SCI subjects and 16 controls. For control subjects, within-operator concordance (ICC [3,1]) ranged from 0.58 to 0.95 for novice operators and exceeded 0.86 for the experienced operator. Between-operator concordance (ICC [2,1]) ranged from 0.62 to 0.74. Ultrasound detected muscle hypertrophy (p < 0.05) following electrical stimulation training in subjects with SCI (responsiveness) but did not detect differences in tendon thickness. These error estimates support the utility of US in future post-SCI training studies.
