Acute muscle loss assessed using panoramic ultrasound in critically ill adults: a prospective observational study.

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
purposePanoramic ultrasound is one of the recently introduced ultrasound evaluation techniques. We herein examined the relationship between the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris muscle on panoramic ultrasound and its volume based on the gold standard computed tomography (CT) evaluation.
methodsThis was a single-center prospective observational study. A panoramic ultrasound assessment of the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris muscle and a simple CT evaluation of its volume were performed on days 1 and 7 of hospitalization. Physical functions were assessed at discharge.
resultsTwenty patients were examined. The rate of change in the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris muscle on panoramic ultrasound correlated with that in its volume on CT (correlation coefficient 0.59, p = 0.0061). In addition, a correlation was observed between the absolute value for the rectus femoris muscle cross-sectional area on panoramic ultrasound and physical functions at discharge. Rectus femoris muscle distances did not correlate with either.
conclusionIn the acute phase of critical illness, the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris muscle on panoramic images correlated with its volume on CT and, thus, it is a valid method for assessing muscle mass.
