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

Cartilage degeneration is associated with tissue softening and represents the hallmark change of osteoarthritis. Advanced quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qMRI) techniques allow the assessment of subtle tissue changes not only of structure and morphology but also of composition. Yet, the relation between qMRI parameters on the one hand and microstructure, composition and the resulting functional tissue properties on the other hand remain to be defined. To this end, a Finite-Element framework was developed based on an anisotropic constitutive model of cartilage informed by sample-specific multiparametric qMRI maps, obtained for eight osteochondral samples on a clinical 3.0 T MRI scanner. For reference, the same samples were subjected to confined compression tests to evaluate stiffness and compressibility. Moreover, the Mankin score as an indicator of histological tissue degeneration was determined. The constitutive model was optimized against the resulting stress responses and informed solely by the sample-specific qMRI parameter maps. Thereby, the biomechanical properties of individual samples could be captured with good-to-excellent accuracy (mean R
