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

backgroundTo show the femoral neck better in hip lateral view of X-ray, we design a modified hip lateral view and then investigate the value in femoral neck fractures.

methodsCT images of 10 normal hip joints for 3D reconstruction were selected, the Mimics Medical 21.0 was used, and rotating the proximal femur was to find the most suitable angle for showing the femoral neck well, designed the modified lateral view according to this angle. We collected 35 healthy cases and 35 femoral neck fractures as the normal and fracture group. And two groups were all taken hip anteroposterior view, cross-table lateral view and modified lateral view, which were analyzed by two radiologists to score the anatomical structures of the articular surface, femoral head, head neck junction, femoral neck, basal region and intertrochanteric region. Friedman test was used to analyze the score of femoral neck at different angles. T test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were to compare inter-groups.

resultsThe modified lateral view was designed as follows: The subjects were supine, with the sagittal axis biased toward the healthy side at an angle of approximately 20° to the long axis of the examination table, the hip joint flexed at 45°, the lower extremity abducted at 40°, the centerline inclined 45° toward the head and the centerline aligned with the center of the groin. The modified lateral view showed the femoral head, head neck junction and femoral neck more clearly than the cross-table lateral view, but the cross-table lateral view showed the femoral neck basal and intertrochanteric region better. In addition, the time of taking the modified lateral view was significantly less than the cross-table lateral view (normal group: 0.789 min ± 0.223 vs 0.623 min ± 0.207, P < 0.001; fracture group: 1.131 min ± 0.362 vs 0.946 min ± 0.390, P < 0.001).

conclusionsThe modified lateral view can obtain a standard sagittal image of femoral neck, which can show the dislocation and angulation of the sagittal femoral neck fracture clearly, and improve the accuracy of diagnosis. And it is more convenient and easier for patients to cooperate, which is worthy promoting and applying in clinical work.
