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

objectiveTo explore the different imaging manifestations of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and their correlation with the occurrence of pain during the peri-collapse period.

methodsThe 372 patients (624 hips) with ONFH in the peri-collapse stage who were admitted between December 2016 and October 2019 and met the selection criteria were selected as the research objects. Among them, there were 270 males and 102 females, with an average age of 35.3 years (mean, 15-65 years). There were 120 cases of unilateral hip and 252 cases of bilateral hips. There were 39 cases (39 hips) of traumatic ONFH, 196 cases (346 hips) of hormonal ONFH, 102 cases (178 hips) of alcoholic ONFH, and 35 cases (61 hips) of idiopathic ONFH. Among them, there were 482 hips with pain symptoms and 142 hips without pain. The pain duration was less than 3 months in 212 hips, 3-6 months in 124 hips, 6-12 months in 117 hips, and more than 12 months in 29 hips. According to the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging, the ONFH was rated as stage Ⅱ in 325 hips and stage Ⅲ in 299 hips. The patients were grouped according to ONFH etiology and ARCO staging, and hip joint pain and X-ray film (crescent sign and cystic changes), CT (subchondral bone fractures and cystic changes), and MRI (bone marrow edema, joint effusion, and subchondral hypointensity zone) were compared. Spearman rank correlation was used to determine the correlation between ONFH pain duration and X-ray film, CT, and MRI imaging manifestations.

resultsThere were significant differences (

conclusionThe cystic changes, subchondral hypointensity zone, and joint effusion are closely related to the collapse of the femoral head and hip pain in patients with ONFH in the peri-collapse stage. The above-mentioned signals in stage Ⅱ ONFH indicate the instability of the femoral head, which is to predict the development of ONFH and the rational choice of hip-preserving treatment methods provides a basis.
