Review in Der Unfallchirurg, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are established complementary tools for cross-sectional imaging in addition to standard x‑rays in orthopedics and traumatology.

objectiveIllustration of possible applications of MRI and CT in acute and chronic joint diseases. MATERIAL AND

methodsSummary of the relevant literature with focus on the validity of MRI and CT in depicting joint trauma and pathologies. In addition, description of pitfalls in evaluation of the images.

resultsThe main focus of CT is the detailed visualization of fractures and deformities; however, MRI is the primary imaging technique for depiction of soft tissue pathologies, such as ligament tears and chondral lesions. Both imaging techniques are valuable in orthopedics and traumatology and complement each other in the development of treatment algorithms.

conclusionBoth MRI and CT are essential and complementing cross-sectional imaging techniques in the diagnostic procedures for joint pathologies in orthopedics and traumatology.
