Muscle Thickness of Anterior Mid-Thigh in Hospitalized Patients: Comparison of Supine and Standing Postures.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo compare the magnitude changes in muscle thickness (MTH) of the anterior mid-thigh between the supine and standing postures.
designExperimental.
settingUniversity hospital laboratory.
participantsInpatients (N=283) between the ages of 29 and 93 years (193 men, 90 women) with cardiovascular disease who volunteered for this study.
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresMTH of the anterior mid-thigh was measured with a 10 MHz ultrasound probe while the participants stood or lay supine in a relaxed position with their arms extended and by their sides.
resultsAge and percentage of body fat were greater (
conclusionsIn this study, MTH of the anterior mid-thigh during prolonged hospitalization was approximately 16% higher in men than in women regardless of posture, and was approximately 32% higher in standing posture than in the supine position regardless of sex.
