Inter-session reliability of electrical impedance myography in children in a clinical trial setting.
Trial report in Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2015. 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
objectiveHigh reliability is a prerequisite for any test to be useful as a biomarker in a clinical trial. Here we assessed the reproducibility of electrical impedance myography (EIM) in children by comparing data obtained by different evaluators on separate days.
methodsHealthy boys and boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) aged 2-14 years underwent EIM of multiple muscles performed by two evaluators on two visits separated by 3-7 days. Single and multifrequency data were analyzed. Reliability was assessed via calculation of the percent relative standard deviation (% RSD), Bland-Altman analysis, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
resultsFor both individual muscle data and data averaged across muscles, intra-evaluator measurements showed high repeatability for both 50 kHz phase and 50/200 kHz phase ratio values, with ICCs generally above 0.90 and % RSD below 10%. Inter-evaluator results showed very similar ICC and % RSD values as those obtained by the same evaluator.
conclusionsBoth the 50 kHz phase and 50/200 kHz phase ratio are reliable measures both across time and evaluators and in both health and disease. SIGNIFICANCE: These results support the concept that EIM can serve as a reliable measure in clinical therapeutic trials in a pediatric population.
