Blood perfusion of patellar bone measured by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in patients with patellofemoral pain: A case-control study.
Article in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundAltered perfusion might play an important role in the pathophysiology of patellofemoral pain (PFP), a common knee complaint with unclear pathophysiology. PURPOSE: To investigate differences in dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI perfusion parameters between patients with PFP and healthy control subjects. POPULATION/SUBJECTS/PHANTOM/SPECIMEN/ANIMAL MODEL: Thirty-five adult patients with PFP and 44 healthy adult control subjects. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3T DCE-MRI consisting of a sagittal, anterior-posterior, frequency-encoded, fat-suppressed 3D spoiled gradient-echo sequence with intravenous contrast administration. ASSESSMENT: Patellar bone volumes of interest (VOIs) were delineated by a blinded observer. Quantitative perfusion parameters (k STATISTICAL TESTS: Differences in patellar bone perfusion parameters were compared between groups by linear regression analyses, adjusted for confounders.
resultsMean differences of weighted mean and unweighted median were 0.0039 (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.0013; 0.0091) and 0.0052 (95% CI -0.0078; 0.018) for k DATA
conclusionHigher patellar bone perfusion parameters were found in patients with PFP when compared to healthy control subjects, but these differences were not statistically significant. This result, and the observed significant difference in k LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 3 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018;47:1344-1350.
