The morphometry, localization, and shape types of the fovea capitis femoris, and their relationship with the femoral head parameters.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the morphometric properties of the fovea capitis femoris (FCF) and its localization on the femoral head, the shape types, and the relationship with the femoral head parameters.
methodsThis study was performed on 146 dry femora. The morphological and morphometric properties were evaluated on dry bones and digital images of these bones. Some of the FCF and femoral head parameters were measured with a caliper on dry bones while others were measured using ImageJ software on digital images.
resultsThe most common localization type was the Type 2 localization and the shape type was the oval type. The FCF sizes [except depth of the FCF (D
conclusionResults showed that the morphometric properties, localization, and shape types of the FCF were related to some femoral head parameters. It is thought that our findings contributed to orthopedic and radiological applications and anthropological sciences.
