Inter- and intra-rater reliability of vertebral fracture classifications in the Swedish fracture register.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06848660 (Rigid Collar or no Collar for Non-surgical Treatment of Stable Cervical Spine Fractures), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
aimTo investigate the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the vertebral fracture classifications used in the Swedish fracture register.
methodsRadiological images of consecutive patients with cervical spine fractures (
resultsThe mean kappa coefficient for inter-rater reliability ranged between 0.54 and 0.79 for the cervical fracture classifications, between 0.51 and 0.72 for the thoracolumbar classifications (overall and for different sub classifications), and between 0.65 and 0.77 for the presence or absence of signs of ankylosing disorder in the fracture area. The mean kappa coefficient for intra-rater reliability ranged between 0.58 and 0.80 for the cervical fracture classifications, between 0.46 and 0.68 for the thoracolumbar fracture classifications (overall and for different sub classifications) and between 0.79 and 0.81 for the presence or absence of signs of ankylosing disorder in the fracture area.
conclusionThe classifications used in the Swedish fracture register for vertebral fractures have an acceptable inter- and intra-rater reliability with a moderate strength of agreement.
