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

objectiveOur aim was to determine topographical variations in zonal properties of articular cartilage over the medial tibia in an experimental osteoarthritis (OA) model using 7-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND

methodsAn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-transection canine model was subjected to study at 8 (six) and 12 (seven) weeks after the surgery. Each medial tibia was divided into five topographical locations. For each specimen, T2 relaxation (at 0° and 55°) was quantified at microscopic resolution. The imaging data grouped the five locations into two topographical areas (meniscus-covered and -uncovered).

resultsThe T2 (55°) bulk values from the meniscus-covered area were significantly lower than those from the uncovered area. The total cartilage thicknesses on the meniscus-covered area were significantly thinner than those on the meniscus-uncovered area. Significant differences in the T2 (0°) values were observed in most thicknesses of the four subtissue zones and whole-tissue from the uncovered area, while the same significant changes were detected in the superficial zone from the meniscus-covered area.

conclusionBy quantifying high-resolution imaging data both topographically and depth-dependently (zonal-wise), this study demonstrates that the rate of disease progression varies topographically over the medial tibia. Future correlation with OA pathology could lead to better detection of early OA.
