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

Accurate estimation of body composition remains a critical task in personalized healthcare and clinical decision-making. However, existing measurement methods, such as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and Computed Tomography (CT), are often difficult to access and pose potential risks associated with ionizing exposure. In this study, we present a streamlined pipeline that replaces handcrafted feature engineering with end-to-end learning from voxel maps and demographic features. Our extended experiments demonstrate promising RMSE performance on real-world 3D scan datasets across multiple regional and total body composition values, validating the effectiveness of this voxel-demographic approach over traditional part-based feature descriptors. The proposed methodology represents a paradigm shift from manual feature extraction to automated pattern learning, demonstrating significant improvements in both accuracy and scalability for clinical body composition analysis.
