MRi of the knee compared to specialized radiography for measurements of articular cartilage height in knees with osteoarthritis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. 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
This study aims to evaluate and compare extremity-MRi with specialized radiography by measuring articular cartilage height in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A prospective study, including sixty patients. Measurements on MRi images, Rosenberg view, and coronal stress radiographs were performed. MRI was compared to specialized radiography. Measurements in the medial compartment showed negligible/weak correlation between MRi and Rosenber/varus stress. In the lateral compartment, MRi and the Rosenberg/valgus stress view were strongly correlated. We conclude that MRi cannot replace radiographs for the measurement of articular cartilage thickness. MRi should, however, be reserved for more unusual cases of atypical clinical findings.
