Evaluation of errors in measurements of infantile hip radiograph using digitally reconstructed radiograph from three-dimensional MRI.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposePlain hip radiograph is commonly used for the diagnosis of infantile acetabular dysplasia. Many infants are unable to maintain adequate position during radiography. Besides, the infantile hip is much smaller and has a higher cartilage component in the acetabulum and proximal femur compared with the adult hip. In this study, we developed a digitally reconstructed radiograph synthesized from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and investigated errors of hip radiographic measurements in different pelvic positions. PATIENTS AND
methodsMRI of both hips was performed in 10 patients (mean age 3.9 years). Three-dimensional (3D) bone models were created from MRI data. We tilted 3D pelvic bone models between 10° anteversion and retroversion and through 10° rotation on the affected and contralateral sides using 3D axes. Following this, we created digitally reconstructed radiographs in each pelvic position and calculated the acetabular index (AI), center-edge angle (CEA), migration percentage (MP), and teardrop distance (TDD).
resultsAI tended to increase with pelvic retroversion and did not change with pelvic rotation. CEA tended to decrease with pelvic retroversion and rotation on the contralateral side. MP increased with pelvic retroversion and rotation on the contralateral side. TDD did not change significantly with pelvic tilt and rotation.
conclusionsRadiographic measurements of hip in infants were highly influenced by pelvic movement. AI was influenced by pelvic tilt; CEA and MP were influenced by both pelvic tilt and rotation. We need to keep in mind that infantile hip radiographs could have about ±5° errors in AI and CEA.
