Clinical application of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging in skeletal muscle.
Article in Muscles, ligaments and tendons journal, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) is increasingly applied in the detection and characterization of skeletal muscle. This promising technique has aroused much enthusiasm and generated high expectations, because it is able to provide some specific information of skeletal muscle that is not available from other imaging modalities. Compared with conventional MRI, DTI could reconstruct the trajectories of skeletal muscle fibers. It makes it possible to non-invasively detect several physiological values (diffusion values), like fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), which have a great association with the muscle physiology and pathology. Furthermore, other advantages of DTI are the capability of investigating the muscle biomechanics and also investigate the pathological condition of skeletal muscle. Finally, several challenges, which limit the wide application of DTI in skeletal muscle, were discussed. It is believed that this review may arouse in-depth studies on the clinical application of DTI in skeletal muscle in future.
