A robust method for automatic identification of landmarks on surface models of the pelvis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The recognition of bony landmarks of the pelvis is a required operation in patient-specific orthopedics, subject-specific biomechanics or morphometrics. A fully automatic detection is preferable to a subjective and time-consuming manual identification. In this paper, a new approach, called the iterative tangential plane (ITP) method, for fully automatic identification of landmarks on surface models of the pelvis is introduced. The method includes the landmarks to construct the two most established anatomical reference frames of the pelvis: the anterior pelvic plane (APP) coordinate system and superior inferior spine plane (SISP) coordinate system. The ITP method proved to be robust against the initial alignment of the pelvis in space. A comparison to a manual identification was performed that showed minor but significant (p < 0.05) median differences below 3 mm for the position of the landmarks and below 1° for the orientation of the APP coordinate system. Whether these differences are acceptable, has to be evaluated for each specific use case. There were no significant differences for the orientation of the SISP coordinate system recommended by the International Society of Biomechanics.
