Stereological methods based on point counting and unbiased counting frames for two-dimensional measurements in muscles: comparison with manual and image analysis methods.

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
Stereological methods, using the principle of point counting and unbiased counting frames, for the estimation of muscle area, total fibre area, number of muscle fibres and mean fibre area are described in detail. Their practical application is demonstrated on cross-sections of the rat soleus muscles. It is shown that the efficiency of these methods is high and their results are comparable with those achieved by the conventional manual and image analysis methods. The main advantages of two-dimensional stereological methods in muscle morphometry are pointed out: measurements are made directly on specimens under the microscope and in the simplest implementation do not require sophisticated and expensive technical equipment. Furthermore, unbiased results are obtained, no segmentation and edge effect problems arise and the quantity of work invested in stereological estimation is reasonable. Based upon the study of the efficiency of used stereological methods, a suitable test system for muscle morphometry is proposed.
