1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Somatotyping is essential for assessing body composition in sports science, anthropology, and medicine. Traditional methods, such as the Heath-Carter approach, rely on manual measurements, which can be prone to errors and variability. This study evaluates the validity and reliability of 3D body scanning as an alternative to manual somatotyping. A total of 117 participants (49 males, 68 females) aged 18 to 27 years were assessed using both traditional anthropometric methods and a full-body 3D scanning system (TC
