Clinical Application of Skeletal Muscle Quantity and Quality Assessment Using Bioelectrical Impedance and Ultrasound Images.
Review in Physical therapy research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A decline in muscle strength is a key factor responsible for physical dysfunction in older individuals. Both loss of muscle quantity and quality are associated with muscle strength decline. While the gold standard method for evaluating muscle mass and quality is magnetic resonance imaging, it is not suitable for clinical settings because of the measurement and analysis costs. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and B-mode ultrasonography are clinically useful alternatives for skeletal muscle assessment owing to their feasibility and noninvasiveness. The recent advancements in the techniques for BIA and ultrasonography have improved their accuracy in assessing skeletal muscle quantity and quality, making them useful in detecting age-related and disease-specific alterations. This review comprehensively analyzes the advantages of using BIA and ultrasound imaging for assessing skeletal muscle quantity and quality and detecting muscle degeneration. We summarize the recent findings regarding age-related changes in muscle characteristics and the associations of muscle degeneration with physical dysfunction in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Furthermore, we discuss the clinical application of skeletal muscle assessment using BIA and ultrasound for evaluating training effects and exercise prescription.
