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

background and purpose3-dimensional midfoot motion is hard to evaluate in clinical practice. We present a new computed tomography (CT)-based radiostereometric analysis (CT-RSA) technique to examine in vivo midfoot kinematics during single-leg stance and compare it with marker-based radiostereometry (RSA). PATIENTS AND

methods8 patients were examined with bilateral non- and full-weight-bearing CT images of the midfoot. 1st tarsometatarsal motion was analyzed using a surface-registration technique (CT-RSA). As all patients had unilateral tantalum markers in the 1st cuneiform (C1) and 1st metatarsal (M1), comparison of precision with markerbased RSA was performed. CT-RSA precision was evaluated with surface registration of both C1-M1 bone and C1-M1 tantalum markers, while RSA precision was determined with C1-M1 markers only. Additionally, to remove motion bias, we evaluated intrasegmental CT-RSA precision by comparing proximal with distal part of M1.

resultsUnder physical load, the primary movement for the 1st tarsometatarsal joint was M1 dorsiflexion (mean 1.4°), adduction (mean 1.4°), and dorsal translation (mean 1.1 mm). CT-RSA precision, using surface bone or markers, was in the range of 0.3-0.7 mm for translation and 0.6-1.6° for rotation. In comparison, RSA precision was in the range of 0.4-0.9 mm for translation and 1.0-1.7° for rotation. Finally, intrasegmental CT-RSA precision was in the range of 0.1-0.2 mm for translation and 0.4-0.5° for rotation.

conclusionCT-RSA is a valid and precise, non-invasive method to measure midfoot kinematics when compared with conventional RSA.
