3D imaging for hindfoot alignment assessment: a comparative study between non-weight-bearing MRI and weight-bearing CT.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThe authors compared measurements of hindfoot alignment on MR imaging with weight-bearing CT (WB-CT) to establish the degree of correlation. Forty-seven feet in 44 patients had weight-bearing CT and MRI studies performed on the same day. MATERIALS AND
methodsHindfoot alignment on MRI was assessed by two radiologists who calculated tibiocalcaneal angle (TCA) and calcaneofibular ligament angle (CFLA). On WB-CT, foot ankle offset (FAO), calcaneal offset (CO) and hindfoot angle (HA) were assessed by a senior Foot and Ankle Surgeon using dedicated software. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between these measurements.
resultsThe study group comprised 27 males and 17 females with a mean age of 45 years (range 13-79 years). A statistically significant positive correlation was identified between TCA on MRI and all measurements of hindfoot alignment on WB-CT (p = 0.001-0.005). The CFLA on MRI only had significant correlation with CO on WB-CT (p = 0.03). A significant negative correlation was observed between both MRI parameters (p < 0.001).
conclusionA highly significant correlation between tibiocalcaneal angle on non-weight-bearing ankle MR imaging and hindfoot alignment measurements on weight-bearing CT was identified.
