Quantitative anatomy of the primary ossification center of the radial shaft in human fetuses.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe medical literature still lacks studies on the size of the radial shaft primary ossification center, thus preventing us from potentially relevant data in diagnosing skeletal dysplasias, i.e., TAR syndrome, VATER syndrome, Holt-Oram syndrome, Fanconi anemia and Edwards syndrome, frequently characterized by disrupted or retarded fetal growth. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe size of the radial shaft primary ossification center in 47 (25 males and 22 females) spontaneously aborted human fetuses aged 17-30 weeks was studied by means of CT, digital image analysis and statistics.
resultsWith neither sex nor laterality differences, the best-fit growth dynamics for the radial shaft primary ossification center was modeled by the following functions: y = - 10.988 + 1.565 × age ± 0.018 for its length, y = - 2.969 + 0.266 × age ± 0.01 for its proximal transverse diameter, y = - 0.702 + 0.109 × age ± 0.018 for its middle transverse diameter, y = - 2.358 + 0.203 × age ± 0.018 for its distal transverse diameter, y = -189.992 + 11.788 × (age)
conclusionsThe morphometric characteristics of the radial shaft primary ossification center show neither sex nor bilateral differences. The radial shaft primary ossification center grows proportionately in length, transverse dimensions and volume, and quadratically in its projection surface area. The obtained numerical findings of the radial shaft ossification center are considered age-specific reference of relevance in both the estimation of fetal ages and the diagnostic process of congenital defects.
