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

backgroundDetecting bone marrow edema (BME) as a sign of acute fractures is challenging on conventional computed tomography (CT). This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of a three-material decomposition (TMD) approach for detecting traumatic BME of the extremities on spectral computed tomography (SCT).

methodsThis retrospective diagnostic study included 81 bone compartments with and 80 without BME. A TMD application to visualize BME was developed in collaboration with Philips Healthcare. The following bone compartments were included: distal radius, proximal femur, proximal tibia, distal tibia and fibula, and long bone diaphysis. Two blinded radiologists reviewed each case independently in random order for the presence or absence of BME.

resultsThe interrater reliability was 0.84 (

conclusionsOur TMD approach provides high diagnostic performance for detecting BME of the extremities. Therefore, this approach could be used routinely in the emergency setting.
