Ultrasound and MRI Are Not Interchangeable for Measuring Muscle Cross-Sectional Area: Analysis of Reliability and Validity in 10 Lower Limb Muscles Considering Sex Differences.

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
Ultrasound-based anatomical cross-sectional area (US-ACSA) measurement using extended-field-of-view (EFOV) imaging offers a practical alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-ASCA) measurements. Although its reliability and validity have previously been assessed, previous studies have focused only on a single or limited number of muscles with little attention to effects of muscle size and sex. This study was conducted in ten lower limb muscles of varying sizes in males and females in order to assess the reliability and validity of US-ACSA measurements using MRI as the gold standard method. Twelve males and twelve females participated in this study. US- and MRI-ACSA were measured twice, one day apart. Reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC
