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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate radiographic-based classification systems for osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum and determine their agreement with intraoperative findings.

methodsUsing PRISMA guidelines, we analyzed 44 studies utilizing a total of 19 classification systems.

resultsMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based systems showed better predictive value of intraoperative staging, and the Itsubo and Kohyama classifications showed best predictive value for lesion stability.

conclusionsNo classification system effectively correlated with intraoperative findings. A combination of radiograph, MRI, and computed tomography will most accurately determine OCD lesion stability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, Systematic Review.
