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

purposeTo evaluate the correlation between trochlear dysplasia and acetabular coverage. MATERIALS AND

methods109 retrospective CT studies referred from the young adult knee clinic were independently reviewed by two observers. Anterior acetabular (AASA) and posterior acetabular (PASA) sector angles were calculated bilaterally on axial CT. Trochlear dysplasia was graded using the Dejour classification (A-D). ANOVA test was used.

resultsDejour types A, B and D trochlear dysplasia were associated with a significantly increased AASA (P value = 0.0011).

conclusionOur results demonstrate a significant relationship between trochlear dysplasia and anterior acetabular coverage, as measured by AASA.
