Ultrasound measures of muscle thickness and subcutaneous tissue from the hip abductors: Inter- and intra-rater reliability.
Article in Musculoskeletal science & practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundUltrasound imaging is important in many fields such as medicine, sports, and health sciences to assess parts of muscle structure (e.g., muscle thickness [MT]) or composition (subcutaneous tissue [Sub
objectiveThe aim of the present study was to investigate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of MT and Sub
designCross-sectional study.
methodTwenty young adults participated in the study. Intra-rater reliability was established by measuring the same two images twice by the same rater, while inter-rater reliability was assessed between two raters by measuring the same two images for each muscle. For both intra- and inter-rater reliability, the reliability of the TFL and GM outcomes (MT- Sub
resultsFor intra-rater reliability, variables of both muscles showed an excellent ICC (≥0.90), lower CV and SEM, and bias near zero. Inter-rater reliability also showed an excellent ICC for both variables and muscles (≥0.81) with lower CV, SEM, and bias.
conclusionTherefore, these results provide strong evidence of a reliable measure of MT and Sub
