Using the Blackburne-Peel index to measure the patellar height on magnetic resonance images.

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
To reveal the normal values of patellar height measurements using the Blackburne-Peel index on magnetic resonance (MR) images and to show the gender and age differences regarding this measurement technique. This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated 148 knee MR images, and those images were re-evaluated to find out the normal values of patellar height using the Blackburne-Peel index (BPI). An adapted measurement technique of this index was applied to MR images. The study group was analyzed regarding the sex and age differences, correlation with age was investigated, and all descriptive data were presented. Independent Samples T-test, Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis, and Spearman's Rho correlation test was applied to calculate the results. The mean value was 0.80 ± 0.09 for the total of patients. The measurements regarding the height of the inferior edge of the patella articular surface and the length of the patella articular surface indicated a significant difference between females and males (p < 0.001 for both measurements). The descriptive data obtained from this study revealed the mean values of the whole study group, different sexes, and age groups separately. Additional studies are needed for adapting BPI on MR images and verifying the normal values of the population.
