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

objectiveAutomatic segmentation for biochemical cartilage evaluation holds promise for an efficient and reader-independent analysis. This pilot study aims to investigate the feasibility and to compare delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) hip joint assessment with manual segmentation of acetabular and femoral head cartilage and dGEMRIC hip joint assessment using automatic surface and volume processing software at 3 Tesla.

designThree-dimensional (3D) dGEMRIC data sets of 6 patients with hip-related pathology were assessed (1) manually including multiplanar image reformatting and regions of interest (ROI) analysis and (2) automated by using a combined surface and volume processing software. For both techniques, T1

resultsA high correlation between both techniques was observed for acetabular (ρ = 0.897;

conclusionsAutomatic cartilage segmentation with dGEMRIC assessment for hip joint cartilage evaluation seems feasible providing high to excellent correlation with manually performed ROI analysis. This technique is feasible for an objective, reader-independant and reliable assessment of biochemical cartilage status.
