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

Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) scan images are useful as they can provide information essential for surgical support, particularly in orthopedic surgery. In the case of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, a 3D CT scan is important in preoperative simulation. Furthermore, it is associated with a reduced risk of revision surgery because the angle of the foramen magnum changes with the femoral muscle mass. However, the CT scan system geometry has several limitations. For example, the patient's posture is limited during the procedure. Herein, we report an original CT scan method and 3D imaging process for surgical support of the ACL.
