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

aimThe posterior tibial slope (PTS) is important in planning many orthopedic procedures. The aim of the study is to outline a PTS measurement method using multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) in knee computed tomography (CT) images.

methodsMPR reconstruction was performed on pre-captured CT angio images of 124 patients. A standard tibial axis was created. Then, using reference points, the PTS was measured separately for the medial PTS (MPTS) and lateral PTS (LPTS). To identify an intra- and interobserver error, the technical error of measurement (TEM), relative TEM (rTEM), and coefficient of reliability (R) of the measurement were analyzed.

resultsThe study enrolled 124 patients (88 males, 36 females) from 18 to 92 years old. The average MPTS 8.63 ± 2.7° and LPTS 7.77 ± 3.1° were significantly different (

conclusionsPTS measurement from CT images appears advantageous as it eliminates measurement limitations due to tibial rotation and has high intra- and interobserver consistency.
