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

backgroundSubchondral fatigue fracture of the femoral head (SFFFH) mainly occurs in young military recruits and might be confused with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. However, less research focuses on the risk factor for SFFFH.

aimTo evaluate the intrinsic risk factors for SFFFH in young military recruits.

methodsX-ray and magnetic resonance imaging data were used for analysis. Acetabular anteversion of the superior acetabulum, acetabular anteversion of the center of the acetabulum (AVcen), anterior acetabular sector angle (AASA), posterior acetabular sector angle, superior acetabular sector angle, neck-shaft angle (NSA), inferior iliac angle (IIA), and ischiopubic angle were calculated. Then, logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and independent samples

resultsBased on the results of logistic regression, age [odds ratio (OR): 1.33; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.12-1.65;

conclusionWe have for the first time unveiled that AASA and age could be key risk factors for SFFFH, which further verifies that deficient anterior coverage of the acetabulum might be the main cause of SFFFH.
