Is there any use? Validity of 4D rasterstereography compared to EOS 3D X-ray imaging in patients with degenerative disk disease.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionPrevious studies of 4D rasterstereography show a high intra- and interday reliability. However, only few studies validate rasterstereography to conventional X-ray imaging. We utilized EOS X-ray imaging system (EOS Imaging, Paris, France) for accurate 3D spinal modeling and compared the results to parameters obtained by 4D rasterstereography. The aim of the present study was to validate 4D rasterstereography in patients with degenerative disk disease (DDD). MATERIALS AND
methodThirty-four individuals with DDD (female = 22 and male = 12) were included. EOS X-ray images were analyzed to determine spinal [lumbar lordosis (LL) and thoracic kyphosis (TK)] and pelvic parameters [pelvic obliquity (PO) and pelvic axial rotation (PR)]. Patients received 4D rasterstereographic measurements on the same day as EOS imaging. Parameters obtained by rasterstereography were compared to those obtained by EOS X-ray imaging. We used Bland and Altman's test as well as Pearson test to validate rasterstereography. Additionally, we calculated interrater reliability of EOS X-ray analysis using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
resultsOur data showed only weak correlation between 4D rasterstereography and EOS X-ray imaging for spinal parameters (LL and TK). Pelvic parameters (PO and PR) showed no correlation. Interrater correlation reliability for EOS analysis was excellent (ICC > 0.8).
conclusionOur data suggest that rasterstereographic systems are no reliable substitute for X-ray-based imaging systems in patients with degenerative disk disease. EOS imaging was shown to provide reliable and accurate spinal modeling. Based on our results, rasterstereographic imaging should be used with caution for evaluating spinal and pelvic parameters in patients with DDD.
