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

backgroundAccurate assessment of osseous morphology is imperative in the evaluation of patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and hip dysplasia. Through use of computed tomography (CT), 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructed hip models may provide a more precise measurement for overcoverage and undercoverage and aid in the interpretation of 2-dimensional radiographs obtained in the clinical setting. PURPOSE: To describe new measures of acetabular coverage based on 3D-reconstructed CT scan bone models. STUDY

designCross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

methodsPreoperative CT scans were acquired on the bilateral hips and pelvises of 30 patients before arthroscopic surgical intervention for FAIS. Custom software was used for semiautomated segmentation to generate 3D osseous models of the femur and acetabulum that were aligned to a standard coordinate system. This software calculated percentage of total acetabular coverage, which was defined as the surface area projected onto the superior aspect of the femoral head. The percentage of coverage was also quantified regionally in the anteromedial, anterolateral, posteromedial, and posterolateral quadrants of the femoral head. The acetabular clockface was established by defining 6 o'clock as the inferior aspect of the acetabular notch. Radial coverage was then calculated along the clockface from the 9-o'clock to 5-o'clock positions.

resultsThe study included 20 female and 10 male patients with a mean age of 33.6 ± 11.7 years and mean body mass index of 27.8 ± 6.3. The average percentage of total acetabular coverage for the sample was 57% ± 6%. Acetabular coverages by region were as follows: anteromedial, 78% ± 7%; anterolateral, 18% ± 7%, posterolateral, 33% ± 13%, and posteromedial, 99% ± 1%. The acetabular coverage ranged from 23% to 69% along the radial clockface from 9 to 5 o'clock.

conclusionThis study demonstrated new 3D measurements to characterize acetabular coverage in patients with FAIS and elucidated the distribution of acetabular coverage according to these measurements.
