1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundVolumetric measures of intrinsic foot muscle and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) infiltration are important in understanding foot injury and disease. We questioned whether measures of muscle and fat derived from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) would be comparable.

methodsThis study determined the correlation and level of agreement between CT and MR measurements of foot muscle and IMAT from 32 subjects with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. Volumetric CT and DIXON 3T MR scans were obtained. Intermuscular adipose tissue and muscle volumes used to create the IMAT to muscle ratio were obtained by segmenting the forefoot muscle compartment from each modality.

resultsComputed tomography IMAT ratios were significantly correlated (r = 0.85, P < 0.0001) with MR IMAT ratios. Computed tomography and MR IMAT ratio mean difference between CT and MR was small (0.044 unit, Bland-Altman plots).

conclusionsThe CT and MR IMAT ratio measurements were highly correlated, indicating both modalities represent tissue quantification similarly.Level of Evidence: 2Technical Efficacy: 1.
