Morphometric Analysis of Rat and Mouse Musculoskeletal Tissues using High Field MRI.
Article in Research square, 2025. 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
The knee is a complex articulating joint composed of bones and fibrous connective tissues with anatomy retained across species including humans, pigs, dogs, rats, and mice. Imaging developments in high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enabled non-destructive 3D structural analysis of small animal joints to further these preclinical models. The goal of this work was to apply MRI techniques for rodent knee joints using a high field MRI scanner and to characterize the morphometry of the four primary ligaments and medial and lateral menisci. Briefly, female rat and mouse knees were imaged in a 9.4T MRI scanner and the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the ligaments and the meniscal heights and widths were recorded. Tissue dependent relationships were observed in the rat and mouse ligaments. The PCL was the largest ligament in the rats with a CSA of 0.35 ± 0.08 mm
