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

Patients with mucopolysaccharidoses IVA (MPS IVA) have a progressive accumulation of the specific glycosaminoglycans (GAGs): chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S) and keratan sulfate (KS), leading to the degeneration of the cartilage matrix and its connective tissue perturbing the regular microarchitecture of cartilage and successively distorting bone ossification and growth. Impaired cartilage quality and poor bone mineralization lead to serious hip disorders in MPS IVA patients. Although hip dysplasia is seen widely in musculoskeletal abnormality of this disorder, the pathophysiology of the hip bone and cartilage morphology in these patients remains unclear. Until now, no systemic study of the hip joints in MPS IVA has been reported by using the combined images of plain film radiographs (PFR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This study aimed to assess the bony and cartilaginous features of hip joints and to explore the potentially related factors of femoral head osteonecrosis (FHN) and hip subluxation/dislocation in patients with MPS IVA. Hip joints in MPS IVA patients were retrospectively reviewed, based on the findings of PFR and MRI data from 2014 to 2019. Demographic information was also collected and analyzed with imaging measurements. A total of 19 patients (eight boys and 11 girls) were recruited, and 38 hip joints in these patients were examined. Eleven patients (57.9%) had FHN. FHN patients were statistically compared with those without FHN. Correlations between cartilaginous femoral head coverage (CFHC) and acetabular index (AI), cartilaginous AI (CAI), or neck-shaft angle (NSA) were investigated in patients with hip subluxation or dislocation. The greater cartilaginous coverage of the hips than their osseous inherency was observed. Significant correlation was observed between CFHC and AI (r =-0.351,
