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

backgroundDue to the increasing need for a detailed biomechanical analysis of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lesions, the aim of the study was to develop a method of direct measurement of the three-dimensional tibial translation and rotation based on stress MRI.

methodsFor the purpose of the study, thirty patients with acute ACL rupture and 17 healthy control subjects were selected. Based on clinical examination, they were qualified for MRI examination using the Arthroholder Device prototype to perform anterior tibial translation. Each examination was performed at 30° of knee flexion, initially without tibia translation and then using the force applied to the calf of 80 N. The femur and tibia were separately registered using rigid local SimpleITK landmark refinement; translation and rotation parameters were then calculated using the 3D transformation algorithms. The significance level was set at 0.05.

resultsInitially, the device and method for obtaining the parameters of the 3D translation and rotation were validated. The pooled Standard Deviation for translation parameters was 0.81 mm and for rotation parameters 0.87°. Compared to the control group, statistically significant differences were found in parameters such as Anterior Shift [(median ± interquartile range) 3.89 mm ±6.55

conclusionsThe analysis of the anterior tibia translation using stress MRI and the proposed three-dimensional calculation method allows for a detailed analysis of the tibial translation and rotation parameters. The correlations showed the importance of external rotation during anterior tibial translation.
