Modeling and prediction of body segment inertial properties of sheep from tomographic imaging.
Article in Journal of biomechanics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sheep are frequently used animal models of musculoskeletal diseases and orthopedic procedures due to their docility, size and body weight, and similar joint biomechanics to humans. Estimation of body segment inertial properties (BSIPs) is a crucial step in development of biomechanical models, but few resources exist for BSIPs in sheep. The goal of this study was to develop predictive models to estimate the mass, center of mass, and inertia tensor of the hindlimbs of sheep from easily obtainable morphometric data. In addition, this study presents a more comprehensive and repeatable method for defining each hindlimb body segment when directly calculating BSIPs from tomographic imaging. Briefly, CT scans from 16 sheep of varying age, weight, sex, and phenotype were used to calculate BSIPs for the pelvis, thigh, crus, metatarsus, and pastern segments. Those measurements were then used to develop predictive models to estimate the BSIPs for those segments. The predictive models developed showed similar prediction errors to models developed in human populations.
