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.
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
purposeHip vessel examination provides key information on many hip-related pediatric diseases, and it has an important role in the evaluation of femoral head (FH) blood supply and diagnosis of avascular necrosis (AVN). The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of MR-enhanced high-resolution three-dimensional water-selective cartilage (3D-WATSc) sequence in visualizing the vessels of the hip joint in children. PATIENTS AND
methodsChildren with hip disease were randomly enrolled prospectively at our hospital from January 2021 to August 2022. We performed our institution's hip MRI protocol and enhanced high-resolution 3D-WATSc sequence. The 3D-WATSc images were reconstructed and analyzed, and images of the normal hip were categorized into grades 0-3. The abnormal hip images were compared with those of the normal side using the χ
resultsTwenty-four patients with unilateral hip abnormalities were included in this study. The cartilaginous vascular canal and ossification centre vessels of normal FHs were observed in 18 patients (75%) and met the grade 3 standard. An abnormal cartilaginous canal was observed in 16 patients (67%); meanwhile, 18 patients (75%) had abnormal extrachondral vessels. Comparison of high-resolution 3D-WATSc images with those of the normal side provided effective abnormal vascular information in 95.8% of patients.
conclusionsEnhanced high-resolution 3D-WATSc can visualize the blood vessels of the hip in children. This may provide a new method for the vascular study of various pediatric hip diseases.
