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

The mechanism behind osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the pathogenesis of ONFH from a biomechanical standpoint to provide a theoretical basis for improved treatments. We compared the bone structure of fractured femoral heads with that of necrotic femoral heads by Micro-CT scanning and histological evaluation. In addition, we compared the biomechanical properties of each zone in fractured femoral heads with those in necrotic femoral heads by using biomechanical tests. Compared with fractured femoral heads, bone microarchitecture and bone morphometry in necrotic zone and sclerotic zone of necrotic femoral heads have altered markedly. In addition, the biomechanical properties of the necrotic zone in femoral heads weaken markedly, while those of the sclerotic zone strengthen. We hypothesize that discordance between bone structure and function of the femoral head may be involved in the pathogenesis of ONFH and that more attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of such discordance.
