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

objectivesAnalyzing the lower limb coronal morphological parameters in populations without knee osteoarthritis (KOA) holds significant value in predicting, diagnosing, and formulating surgical strategies for KOA. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the variability in these parameters among Chinese non-KOA populations, employing a substantial sample size.

methodsA cross-sectional retrospective analysis was performed on the Chinese non-KOA populations (n = 407; 49.9% females). The study employed an in-house developed artificial intelligence software to meticulously assess the coronal morphological parameters of all 814 lower limbs. The parameters evaluated included the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), weight-bearing line ratio (WBLR), joint line convergence angle (JLCA), mechanical lateral-proximal-femoral angle (mLPFA), mechanical lateral-distal-femoral angle (mLDFA), mechanical medial-proximal-tibial angle (mMPTA), and mechanical lateral-distal-tibial angle (mLDTA). Differences in these parameters were compared between left and right limbs, different genders, and different age groups (with 50 years as the cut-off point).

resultsHKAA and JLCA exhibited left-right differences (left vs. right: 178.2° ± 3.0° vs. 178.6° ± 2.9° for HKAA, p = 0.001; and 1.8° ± 1.5° vs. 1.4° ± 1.6° for JLCA, p < 0.001); except for the mLPFA, all other parameters show gender-related differences (male vs. female: 177.9° ± 2.8° vs. 179.0° ± 3.0° for HKAA, p < 0.001; 1.5° ± 1.5° vs. 1.8° ± 1.7° for JLCA, p = 0.003; 87.1° ± 2.1° vs. 88.1° ± 2.1° for mMPTA, p < 0.001; 90.2° ± 4.0° vs. 91.1° ± 3.2° for mLDTA, p < 0.001; 38.7% ± 12.9% vs. 43.6% ± 14.1% for WBLR, p < 0.001; and 87.7° ± 2.3° vs. 87.4° ± 2.7° for mLDTA, p = 0.045); mLPFA increase with age (younger vs. older: 90.1° ± 7.2° vs. 93.4° ± 4.9° for mLPFA, p < 0.001), while no statistical difference exists for other parameters.

conclusionsThere were differences in lower limb coronal morphological parameters among Chinese non-KOA populations between left and right sides, different genders, and age.
