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

Radiography is the mainstay for initial evaluation of paediatric foot and ankle pathology. MRI is the preferred exam for further characterisation of the majority of these conditions. The modality features high sensitivity and specificity for this purpose with few exceptions. Findings on MRI will often dictate patient referral and further management, and are frequently required for surgical planning. This article will provide an overview of a variety of pathologies that afflict the foot and ankle in children. These include tarsal coalition, osteochondral lesions, osteonecrosis, osteochondroses, stress fractures, osteomyelitis, inflammatory arthritis, neoplasms of bone and soft tissue, and foreign bodies. Their respective imaging manifestations on MRI are the focus of the paper. Technical parameters and marrow signal variation are also discussed.
