Evaluation of Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction Associated With Acute Inflammation by Electrical Impedance Myography: A Case Report on Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction After Cardiac Surgery and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Electrical impedance myography (EIM) is an evaluation technique for skeletal muscles that uses electrical impedance technology. Recent reviews have shown that EIM is useful as a method to assess changes in skeletal muscle quality and quantity with aging. These may be utilized for functional changes in inflammatory skeletal muscles, such as disease and operation. In this report, the impedance parameters using EIM present perioperative skeletal muscle changes in patients after cardiac surgery. In addition, we will describe the efficacy of EIM in skeletal muscle dysfunction due to inflammation or disease. This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy of EIM in acute inflammation-associated skeletal muscle dysfunction.
