Review in Journal of orthopaedic translation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the dominant 3D imaging modality to quantify muscle properties in skeletal muscle disorders, in inherited and acquired muscle diseases, and in sarcopenia, in cachexia and frailty. Methods: This review covers T1 weighted and Dixon sequences, introduces T2 mapping, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and non-proton MRI. Technical concepts, strengths, limitations and translational aspects of these techniques are discussed in detail. Examples of clinical applications are outlined. For comparison Results: MRI technology provides a rich toolset to assess muscle deterioration. In addition to classical measures such as muscle atrophy using T1 weighted imaging and fat infiltration using Dixon sequences, parameters characterizing inflammation from T2 maps, tissue sodium using non-proton MRI techniques or concentration or fiber architecture using diffusion tensor imaging may be useful for an even earlier diagnosis of the impairment of muscle quality. Conclusion: Quantitative MRI provides new options for muscle research and clinical applications. Current limitations that also impair its more widespread use in clinical trials are lack of standardization, ambiguity of image segmentation and analysis approaches, a multitude of outcome parameters without a clear strategy which ones to use and the lack of normal data.
