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

Joint replacement surgeries have enabled motion for millions of people suffering from arthritis or grave injuries. However, over 10% of these surgeries are revision surgeries. We have first analyzed the data from the worldwide orthopedic registers and concluded that the micromotion of orthopedic implants is the major reason for revisions. Then, we propose the use of inductive eddy current sensors for in vivo micromotion detection of the order of tens of μ m. To design and evaluate its characteristics, we have developed efficient strategies for the accurate numerical simulation of eddy current sensors implanted in the human body. We present the response of the eddy current sensor as a function of its frequency and position based on the robust curve fit analysis. Sensitivity and Sensitivity Range parameters are defined for the present context and are evaluated. The proposed sensors are fabricated and tested in the bovine leg.
