Quantifying Leg Muscle Disuse Atrophy During Bed Rest Using DXA, CT, and MRI.
Article in European journal of sport science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
This study evaluated whether dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide comparable outcomes in quantifying disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. Although the calculation of muscle volume using MRI analysis may be considered the gold standard, the method remains labor intense and, as such, less practical and more costly. In this context, we also evaluated the efficacy of a commercially available automated MRI analysis method to measure changes in leg muscle volume after two weeks of bed rest. Twelve healthy, male adults (age: 24 ± 3 years, BMI: 23.7 ± 3.1 kg/m
