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

purposeTo quantify the magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) capsular morphologic findings associated with postarthroscopy hip instability.

methodsAmong patients with clinically significant iatrogenic hip instability at a single center, patients with preindex and postindex surgery MRAs were identified. These MRAs were compared regarding effective intracapsular volume calculated by semi-automated 3-dimensional pixel intensity region segmentation, 2-dimensional anterior proximal intracapsular area in the femoral neck axial plane reconstruction, maximal anterior fluid pocket depth, capsule retraction distance, and capsular instability grade. Morphological measurements were conducted using Horos image processing software. Paired

resultsIn 42 patients, mean effective intracapsular volume was significantly greater in the postindex surgery MRAs (19.44 cm

conclusionIn comparison to the preoperative state, iatrogenic hip instability is associated with MRA findings that include increases in total effective intracapsular volume, proximal anterosuperior and anteroinferior intracapsular cross-sectional area, maximum proximal anterosuperior fluid depth, and capsule retraction distance. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, diagnostic case series.
