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

This study evaluated the validity and sensitivity of an extended field-of-view (EFOV) wireless palm-sized ultrasound device for assessing quadriceps femoris cross-sectional area (CSA), using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the reference. Although previous studies have examined EFOV ultrasound, data validating EFOV wireless palm-sized devices against MRI using large cohorts and training interventions have not been reported. In Experiment 1, midthigh CSA was measured in 100 young adults (75 males, 25 females) using ultrasound and MRI. Intra-rater reliability was assessed via intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), coefficient of variation (CV), and smallest detectable change (SDC). In Experiment 2, 11 males underwent an 8-week resistance training program. Pre-to-post changes in CSA (ΔCSA) were compared between the two imaging modalities. In Experiment 1, the device demonstrated excellent reliability for males (ICC = 0.996; SEM = 0.85 cm
