Stature estimation based on femoral measurements in the modern Japanese population: a cadaveric study using multidetector computed tomography.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
We aimed to reproduce the anthropometrical measurement of femoral dimensions using multi-planar reconstruction computed tomography (CT), assess the correlation between stature and femoral measurements obtained by this approach, and establish a regression equation for estimating stature in the modern Japanese population. We used data regarding 224 cadavers (116 males, 108 females) that were subjected to postmortem CT and subsequent forensic autopsy at our department between October 2009 and July 2016. To simulate the placement of the femur on the osteometric board using reconstructed CT images, we defined a virtual horizontal plane (VHP) based on the three most dorsal points of the femur (lateral condyle, medial condyle, and greater trochanter). Five femoral measurements including the maximum femoral length (MFL) were obtained. The correlations between stature and each femoral measurement were expressed in terms of the coefficient of determination (R
