Radiographic quantifications of joint space narrowing progression by computer-based approach using temporal subtraction in rheumatoid wrist.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate the validity of a computer-based method using temporal subtraction in carpal joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can detect the difference in joint space between two images with the joint space difference index (JSDI).
methodsThe study consisted of 43 patients with RA (39 females and 4 males) who underwent radiography at baseline and at 1-year follow-up. The joint space narrowing (JSN) of carpal joints on bilateral hand radiographs was assessed by our computer-based method, using the Sharp/van der Heijde method as the standard of reference. We compared the JSDI of joints with JSN progression in the follow-up period with that of those without JSN progression. In addition, we examined whether there is a significant difference in JSDI in terms of laterality or topology of the joint.
resultsThe JSDI of joints with JSN progression was significantly higher than that of those without JSN progression (Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the JSDI between the left and right carpal joints, which was analysed for five different joints altogether and each joint separately (Mann-Whitney U test, p > 0.05). There was statistically significant difference in JSDI among different joints (Kruskal-Wallis test, p = 0.003).
conclusionThese results suggest that our computer-based method may be useful to recognize the JSN progression on radiographs of rheumatoid wrists. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The computer-based temporal subtraction method can detect the JSN progression in the wrist, which is the single most commonly involved site in RA.
