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

Body physique assessment is important for various fields of science and practice, including anthropology, medicine, sports nutrition and pedagogy. The classic Heath-Carter method is complex and multi-step, while bioelectrical impedance analysis makes it easier and faster to evaluate this parameter. The purpose of this study is a comparative analysis of the anthropometric method and bio-electrical impedance analysis in assessing the somatotype. Differences and a low degree of agreement were found between these methods in determining the somatotype. Study design: Studies were carried out at the Department of Anatomy and Biological Anthropology of the Russian University of Sports "SCOLIPE" (Russia) and the morphological departments of the medical faculties of Osh State University (OshSU) of the Kyrgyz Republic from February to April 2024. Results: Bioelectrical impedance analysis quickly and more significantly speeds up the process of assessing a person's body type. Conclusion: Bioimpe-dance analysis shows an increased level of mesomorphy scores in both males and females, and the difference in males is more pronounced. On the other hand, endomorphy scores were lower when assessing the somatotype using the anthropometric method.
