MRI adipose tissue and muscle composition analysis-a review of automation techniques.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
MRI is becoming more frequently used in studies involving measurements of adipose tissue and volume and composition of skeletal muscles. The large amount of data generated by MRI calls for automated analysis methods. This review article presents a summary of automated and semi-automated techniques published between 2013 and 2017. Technical aspects and clinical applications for MRI-based adipose tissue and muscle composition analysis are discussed based on recently published studies. The conclusion is that very few clinical studies have used highly automated analysis methods, despite the rapidly increasing use of MRI for body composition analysis. Possible reasons for this are that the availability of highly automated methods has been limited for non-imaging experts, and also that there is a limited number of studies investigating the reproducibility of automated methods for MRI-based body composition analysis.
