Computed tomography derived analytic morphomics as predictors of clinical outcomes in trauma: a systematic narrative review.
Synthesis in Emergency radiology, 2026. 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
Medical imaging plays a central role in the management of trauma patients. Analytic morphomics (AM) through enabling measurement of specific biological markers of body composition from medical images is emerging as a potential tool to predict patient outcomes across multiple medical and surgical disciplines. We sought to provide a comprehensive review of the utility of AM in predicting outcomes in trauma patients. A systematic review with a narrative synthesis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and checklists. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, The Cochrane Library as well as Web of Science and Trip database were searched for studies that assessed the relationship between computed tomography-based AM parameters and clinical outcomes in patients from a trauma cohort. Multiple AM domains, including lumbar muscle quantity and quality, adiposity, craniofacial measurements, and opportunistic bone mineral density (BMD), were consistently associated with adverse outcomes including mortality, length of stay, complications, and functional recovery. CT-derived AM metrics provide valuable prognostic information in trauma populations, extending beyond conventional measures such as chronological age and injury severity scores.Registration: PROSPERO Registration ID: CRD420251112652.
