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

Morphological imaging of cartilage at high resolution allows the differentiation of chondral and osteochondral lesions. Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging is the principal diagnostic tool in the assessment of cartilage structure and composition. Conventional radiography, computed tomography, ultrasound or optical coherence tomography are adjunct diagnostic modalities in the assessment of cartilage pathologies. The present article discusses the up-to-date diagnostic practice of cartilage imaging in terms of its scientific basis and current clinical status, requirements, techniques and image interpretation. Innovations in the field such as functional MRI are discussed as well due to their mid- to long-term clinical perspective.
