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

Purpose to examine the accuracy and reproducibility of the femoral axial offset measured from the retrocondylar plane by computed tomography (CT). Bone specimens of the femur of 15 males and 15 females were analyzed. CT imaging was performed and data of the coordinates were collected (center of femoral head, center of an ellipse around greater trochanter, center of an ellipse around the base of femoral neck, posterior edge of great trochanter, and both posterior condyles). The angle between the line connecting center of the femoral head and center of an ellipse around greater trochanter and the line connecting both posterior condyles was set as anteversion 1. The angle between the line connecting the center of femoral head and center of an ellipse around base of the femoral neck and the line connecting both posterior condyles was set as anteversion 2. The femoral axial offset was measured from the retrocondylar plane. Measurements were performed three times on the same subject, and intrarater reliability (ICC) was determined. In addition, interrater reliability (ICC) was determined by comparing data from three raters. The mean value for anteversion 1 was 20.1° for males and 22.7° for females. The values for anteversion 2 were 16.0° and 19.9° for males and females, respectively. Offset was 34.0 and 33.4 mm in males and females, respectively. Intrarater ICC and interrater ICC exceeded 0.81 for both methods, suggesting that the method of measurement was reliable. Accuracy and reproducibility of the measurement of femoral axial offset from the retrocondylar plane were high.
