Overview of research and practice progress in body composition measurement techniques.
Review in Frontiers in medical technology, 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
The measurement of body composition is one of the most important tools for evaluating an individual's health and nutritional status. Its field has developed rapidly in recent years due to technological advances and growing application needs. Currently, widely used measurement methods include dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and smartphone software based on Computer Vision (CV) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Each method has its own advantages in terms of accuracy and convenience. However, these techniques still face problems related to measurement reliability and applicability across different populations. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the technologies, target populations, and research fields related to body composition measurement. Body composition measurement is an important part of health management, non-communicable disease management, clinical medicine, and sports and physical training. Along with new scientific advances, this article also presents potential future research directions in body composition measurement.
