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
objectiveThis study is to assess the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for type 1B triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear of the wrist. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study retrospectively enrolled 78 patients to examine the diagnostic performance of preoperative MRI examinations in patients with type 1B TFCC tears. Thirty-nine participants had confirmed type 1B TFCC tear. The control group included 39 patients who were randomly selected from 1157 patients who underwent MRI for wrist pain. Both groups underwent a review of 19 MRI findings by two independent radiologists, and the correlation between each diagnostic finding and type 1B TFCC tear was assessed using the chi-squared test. The 19 MRI findings comprised eight primary signs of abnormalities in the distal or proximal lamina, in conjunction with 11 secondary signs suggestive of abnormalities in the surrounding structures.
resultsThe TFCC tear group demonstrated a significantly higher incidence of two primary MRI signs, i.e., fiber discontinuity and signal alteration in the distal lamina, as observed by both readers (R1, 74.4% vs. 38.5%, p = 0.003, and 87.2% vs. 43.6%, p < 0.001; R2, 74.4% vs. 35.9%, p = 0.001, and 87.2% vs. 53.8%, p < 0.003, respectively). Reader 2 identified a higher prevalence of two additional primary MRI signs: fiber discontinuity and signal alteration in the proximal lamina (all p < 0.05). None of the 11 secondary MRI signs demonstrated statistically significant associations with type 1B TFCC.
conclusionMRI manifestations of fiber discontinuity and signal alteration in the distal lamina may provide predictive markers for type 1B TFCC wrist tear.
