Time of appearance of ossification centers in carpal bones. A radiological retrospective study on Saudi children.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo find reference data for the time of appearance of ossification centers in carpal bones and the lower ends of the radius and ulna in the Saudi population. In addition, to check the sequence of appearance of carpal bones and the relation of this sequence to the appearance of distal epiphyses of the radius and ulna. Methods: A retrospective radiological study was carried out between 2012 to 2020 at King Fahad Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. A sample of 279 hand/wrist plain radiographs of Saudi children was analyzed.
resultsThe first bones at the wrist region to appear in Saudi children are the capitate, hamate, and distal epiphysis of the radius, and these appear during the first year of life. The other bones develop subsequently at yearly intervals, and the last one to appear is the pisiform, which arises at the end of the first decade of life.
conclusionThe sequence of appearance of carpal bones in the Saudi population is similar to what is described in the literature. However, the time of appearance of some of these bones is earlier than that in other populations.
