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

EOS® imaging is a proprietary imaging technology that was launched in 2007. Based on a gaseous particle detector with a multi-wire proportional chamber, it offers several advantages over other imaging modalities: low dose of radiation, ability to create 3D reconstructions, ability to conduct whole body imaging, high reproducibility in measuring various parameters of alignment and faster imaging time. EOS® imaging is slowly gaining widespread acceptance as its applications in various disorders continue to evolve. It has been found to be particularly useful and has opened up new avenues of research in the field of spinal deformities. This narrative review seeks to provide an overview of the proprietary technology behind EOS® imaging, compare it to existing imaging modalities, summarize its current applications in various spinal disorders and outline its limitations.
