Segmentation of the fascia lata and reproducible quantification of intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) of the thigh.
Article in Magma (New York, N.Y.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveTo develop a precise semi-automated segmentation of the fascia lata (FL) of the thigh to quantify IMAT volume in T MATERIALS AND
methodsA multi-step segmentation approach was developed to identify fibrous structures of the FL and combining them into a closed 3D surface. 23 healthy young men with low and 50 elderly sarcopenic men with moderate levels of IMAT were measured by T
resultsThe segmentation was successfully applied to all 73 datasets and took about 7 min per 28 slices. In particular, in elderly subjects, it includes a large amount of adipose tissue below the FL typically not accounted for in other segmentation approaches. Inter- and intra-operator RMS-CVs were 0.33% and 0.14%, respectively, for IMAT volume and 0.04% and 0.02%, respectively, for FF DISCUSSION: The FL segmentation is an important step to quantify IMAT with high precision and may be useful to investigate effects of aging and treatment on changes of IMAT and FF.
