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

Imaging is essential to the evaluation of bone and joint diseases, and the digital era has contributed to an exponential increase in the number of publications on noninvasive analytical techniques for the quantification of changes to bone and joints that occur in health and in disease. One such technique is high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT), which has introduced a new dimension in the imaging of bone and joints by providing images that are both 3D and at high resolution (82 μm isotropic voxel size), with a low level of radiation exposure (3-5 μSv). HR-pQCT enables the analysis of cortical and trabecular properties separately and to apply micro-finite element analysis for calculating bone biomechanical competence in vivo at the distal sites of the skeleton (distal radius and distal tibia). Moreover, HR-pQCT makes possible the in vivo assessment of the spatial distribution, dimensions and delineation of cortical bone erosions, osteophytes, periarticular cortical and trabecular microarchitecture, and 3D joint-space volume of the finger joints and wrists. HR-pQCT is, therefore, a technique with a high potential for improving our understanding of bone and joint diseases at the microarchitectural level.
