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

aimto evaluate the role of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing patients with a history of MATERIALS AND

methodsretrospective consecutive study of patients with previous history of septic arthritis who underwent MRI scans of their hips prior to primary hip arthroplasty surgery and who also had minimum 2 years follow up postoperatively. Detailed radiographic examinations were obtained, demographic and microbiological data collected. The primary outcome measure was whether a preoperative MRI scan had influenced the surgical decision-making and planning. Rate of recurrence of infection and complications was also collected at final follow up.

resultssixteen patients with

conclusionIn our experience, preoperative MRI scans did not influence the surgical decision making and are not recommended for routine practice in the surgical work up of
