Reliability of 2 Smartphone Applications for Cobb Angle Measurement in Scoliosis.
Article in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAs mobile technology has evolved, smartphone applications have been used for radiographic angle measurements in daily clinical practice. This study aimed to assess the reliability of 2 smartphone applications (iPinPoint and Cobbmeter) in measuring scoliosis Cobb angles compared with picture archiving and communication system (PACS) tools.
methodsAnteroposterior whole spinal digital radiographs of 50 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Four observers measured Cobb angles of predetermined major structural curves using the tools in the PACS software and 2 smartphone applications. The inter- and intraobserver reliabilty were measured using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).
resultsVery good interobserver agreement was seen with PACS, iPinPoint, and Cobbmeter measurements (ICC, 0.991, 0.980, and 0.991, respectively). Intraobserver reliability of the 4 observers was also very good for all techniques (ICC > 0.9 for all observers).
conclusionsBoth smartphone applications were reliable in measuring scoliosis Cobb angles, with reference to PACS tools. They may be useful when digital or manual mesurement tools are not available.
