MyoVision-US: an Artificial Intelligence-Powered Software for Automated Analysis of Skeletal Muscle Ultrasonography.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction/Aims: Muscle ultrasound has high utility in clinical practice and research; however, the main challenges are the training and time required for manual analysis to achieve objective quantification of morphometry. This study aimed to develop and validate a software tool powered by artificial intelligence (AI) by measuring its consistency and predictability of expert manual analysis quantifying lower limb muscle ultrasound images across healthy, acute, and chronic illness subjects. Methods: Quadriceps complex (QC [rectus femoris and vastus intermedius]) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscle ultrasound images of healthy, intensive care unit, and/or lung cancer subjects were captured with portable devices. Automated analyses of muscle morphometry were performed using a custom-built deep-learning model (MyoVision-US), while manual analyses were performed by experts. Consistency between manual and automated analyses was determined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), while predictability of MyoVision -US was calculated using adjusted linear regression (adj.R Results: Manual analysis took approximately 24 hours to analyze all 180 images, while MyoVision - US took 247 seconds, saving roughly 99.8%. Consistency between the manual and automated analyses by ICC was good to excellent for all QC (ICC:0.85-0.99) and TA (ICC:0.93-0.99) measurements, even for critically ill (ICC:0.91-0.98) and lung cancer (ICC:0.85-0.99) images. The predictability of MyoVision-US was moderate to strong for QC (adj.R Discussion: The application of AI automating lower limb muscle ultrasound analyses showed excellent consistency and strong predictability compared with human analysis. Future work needs to explore AI-powered models for the evaluation of other skeletal muscle groups.
