Clinical value of weight-bearing CT and radiographs for detecting patellofemoral cartilage visualized by MRI in the MOST study.
Article in Osteoarthritis and cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveThe patellofemoral joint is frequently affected by osteoarthritis (PFOA) and is incompletely imaged on radiographs (XR). Weight-Bearing CT (WBCT) could offer advantages for visualization. This study determined the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of axial WBCT and lateral XR for detection of PFOA features in comparison with cartilage damage on MRI.
designA convenience sample of 60 right knees from the MOST cohort were analyzed. WBCT and XR were read for OARSI JSN score and MRI for MOAKS cartilage score by two experienced musculoskeletal radiologists blinded to participant. Using MOAKS scoring on MRI (referent standard), the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of patellofemoral OARSI JSN scores based on WBCT and XR were compared.
resultsThe mean ± SD age and BMI for the participants included (66.7% women) were 67.6 ± 9.8 years and 30.0 ± 5.3 kg/m
conclusionWBCT demonstrates significantly greater sensitivity and accuracy than radiographs for identification of PFOA. Given the same Relative Radiation Level as XR and improved visualization, WBCT holds promise to improve understanding of the weight-bearing patellofemoral joint.
