Diagnosing sarcopenia and myosteatosis based on chest computed tomography images in healthy Chinese adults.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
backgroundMeasuring muscle mass and muscle quality based on chest Computed Tomography (CT) images would facilitate sarcopenia and myosteatosis research. We aimed (1) to measure muscle mass and myosteatosis based on chest CT images at the 12
methodsChest CT images were analyzed using a segmentation software. Skeletal muscle area (SMA), skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD), and intermuscular adiposity tissue (IMAT) were measured. Skeletal muscle indices (SMIs) and IMAT/SMA ratio were calculated.
resultsWe included 569 participants. SMA, SMA/height
conclusionsMuscle mass indicators (SMA and SMIs) and muscle quality indicators (SMD, IMAT, and IMAT/SMA) measured by chest CT images are valuable for diagnosing sarcopenia and myosteatosis, respectively.
