The Amputated Limb Gluteus Medius is Biomechanically Disadvantaged in Patients with Unilateral Transfemoral Amputation.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2024. 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
Patients with transfemoral amputation (TFA) are at an increased risk of secondary musculoskeleteal comorbidities, primarily due to asymmetric joint loading. Amputated limb muscle weakness is also prevalent in the TFA population, yet all factors that contribute to muscle strength and thus joint loading are not well understood. Our objective was to bilaterally compare gluteus medius (GMED) muscle factors (volume, fatty infiltration, moment arm) that all contribute to joint loading in patients with TFA. Quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) images of the hip were collected from eight participants with unilateral TFA (2M/6F; age: 47.3 ± 14.7 y/o; BMI: 25.4 ± 5.3 kg/m
