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

objectiveOur objective is to analyze the normal radiological morphologic parameters of the adult hip joint of the Indian population and compare it with standard measurements and with other populations to assess the variations.

methodsA prospective analysis of the normal pelvis X-rays of 800 persons (1600 hips) was done. We have calculated the acetabular inclination, acetabular index, lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and neck-shaft angle (NSA), sphericity of the femoral head, congruity of the joint, version of the acetabulum, depth of acetabulum, and lateralization of the femoral head in normal X-rays of the pelvis in adult persons. We used RadiAnt DICOM viewer version 4.6.5.18450 (64bit) for measurement. Statistical analysis and mean values were calculated using SPSS software.

resultsThere were 978 X-rays of the male hip and 622 female. The acetabular inclination varied from 1 to 9. The mean acetabular index was 26.5. The LCEA was between 20 and 50. The mean neck-shaft angle was 133. There were 35, hips with an aspherical head. 94.2% X-rays the hip joint was congruent. There was 2.9% of the retroversion of acetabulum, 3.3% lateralization.

conclusionMost of the parameters were comparable to standard values the acetabular index was lower. LCEA and NSA were higher. The acetabular angle was lower. There were femoral head asphericity, joint incongruity, and lateralization of the femoral head in a small proportion of our general population.
