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.

Abstract
backgroundRecent 3-dimensional optical (3DO) imaging advancements have provided more accessible, affordable, and self-operating opportunities for assessing body composition. 3DO is accurate and precise in clinical measures made by DXA. However, the sensitivity for monitoring body composition change over time with 3DO body shape imaging is unknown.
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the ability of 3DO in monitoring body composition changes across multiple intervention studies.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed using intervention studies on healthy adults that were complimentary to the cross-sectional study, Shape Up! Adults. Each participant received a DXA (Hologic Discovery/A system) and 3DO (Fit3D ProScanner) scan at the baseline and follow-up. 3DO meshes were digitally registered and reposed using Meshcapade to standardize the vertices and pose. Using an established statistical shape model, each 3DO mesh was transformed into principal components, which were used to predict whole-body and regional body composition values using published equations. Body composition changes (follow-up minus the baseline) were compared with those of DXA using a linear regression analysis.
resultsThe analysis included 133 participants (45 females) in 6 studies. The mean (SD) length of follow-up was 13 (5) wk (range: 3-23 wk). Agreement between 3DO and DXA (R
conclusionsCompared with DXA, 3DO was highly sensitive in detecting body shape changes over time. The 3DO method was sensitive enough to detect even small changes in body composition during intervention studies. The safety and accessibility of 3DO allows users to self-monitor on a frequent basis throughout interventions. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03637855 (Shape Up! Adults; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03637855); NCT03394664 (Macronutrients and Body Fat Accumulation: A Mechanistic Feeding Study; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03394664); NCT03771417 (Resistance Exercise and Low-Intensity Physical Activity Breaks in Sedentary Time to Improve Muscle and Cardiometabolic Health; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03771417); NCT03393195 (Time Restricted Eating on Weight Loss; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03393195), and NCT04120363 (Trial of Testosterone Undecanoate for Optimizing Performance During Military Operations; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04120363).
