Artificial intelligence-based volumetric analysis of muscle atrophy and fatty degeneration in patients with hip osteoarthritis and its correlation with health-related quality of life.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeArtificial intelligence (AI) technologies have enabled precise three-dimensional analysis of individual muscles on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance images via automatic segmentation. This study aimed to perform three-dimensional assessments of pelvic and thigh muscle atrophy and fatty degeneration in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis using CT and to evaluate the correlation with health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
methodsThe study included one man and 43 women. Six muscle groups were segmented, and the muscle atrophy ratio was calculated volumetrically. The degree of fatty degeneration was defined as the difference between the mean CT values (Hounsfield units [HU]) of the healthy and affected sides. HRQoL was evaluated using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ).
resultsThe mean muscle atrophy rate was 16.3%, and the mean degree of muscle fatty degeneration was 7.9 HU. Multivariate correlation analysis revealed that the WOMAC stiffness subscale was significantly related to fatty degeneration of the hamstrings, the WOMAC physical function subscale was significantly related to fatty degeneration of the iliopsoas muscle, and the JHEQ movement subscale was significantly related to fatty degeneration of the hip adductors.
conclusionWe found that fatty degeneration of the hamstrings, iliopsoas, and hip adductor muscles was significantly related to HRQoL in patients with hip osteoarthritis. These findings suggest that these muscles should be targeted during conservative rehabilitation for HOA and perioperative rehabilitation for THA.
