Inter-Rater Reliability of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Comparison to Computed Tomography and Wrist Arthroscopy in SLAC and SNAC Wrist.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of the study was to assess the inter-rater reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in comparison to computed tomography (CT) and wrist arthroscopy in patients with scapholunate (SLAC) or scaphoid non-union advanced collapse (SNAC) as well as to evaluate a grading score of cartilage lesions. A total of 42 patients (36 male, 6 female) at a mean age of 45 years (range: 19-65 years) with a SLAC or SNAC wrist who had a preoperative MRI and CT scan as well as underwent arthroscopy of the wrist between 2013 and 2018 were included in this study. Cartilage lesions, as assessed by MRI, CT and wrist arthroscopy, were classified by two hand surgeons in three stages. Inter-rater reliability was evaluated using the Kendall Tau-b test as well as the chi-square test to analyze for trend. The correlation between cartilage lesions, classified by arthroscopy and MRI, was low. A moderate correlation between CT and arthroscopy staging was shown. The highest inter-rater correlation was found between MRI and CT staging. An additionally performed logistic regression showed that progression of cartilage lesions as shown in MRI scans correlates with a restriction of range of motion (ROM). The level of cartilage lesion may be more severely classified in an MRI than during arthroscopy. Arthroscopy remains the gold standard in detecting cartilage lesions and thus in the decision-making process of the definitive treatment in carpal collapse.
