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

backgroundOsteochondral defects represent a main risk factor for osteoarthritis of the ankle.

objectivesThe aim of this article is to provide an overview of current optimal clinical cartilage imaging techniques of the foot and ankle and to show typical osteochondral injuries on imaging. MATERIALS AND

methodsA thorough literature search was performed and was supported by personal experience.

resultsCartilage imaging of the foot and ankle remains challenging. However, advanced morphological and quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques may provide useful clinical information, for example, concerning cartilage repair surgery. Compared to MRI, MR arthrography (MR-A) and CT arthrography (CT-A) have higher sensitivity with respect to detection of osteochondral defects. Regarding smaller joints of the foot, mainly advanced osteoarthritic changes are detected on conventional radiography; only in rare cases, MR and CT imaging of these smaller joints is of relevance.

conclusionsWhile at the smaller joints of the foot cartilage imaging only plays a minor role, at the ankle joint cross-sectional cartilage imaging using CT and MRI becomes more and more important for clinicians due to emerging therapeutic options, such as different osteochondral repair techniques.
