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

To determine the diagnostic yield of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) compared with 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of subchondral insufficiency fractures of the knee. Consecutive patients with subchondral insufficiency fractures of the knee examined by 3 T MRI and CBCT of the femoral condyles were reviewed. Two experienced raters graded the lesion severity on 3 T MRI and CBCT images: grade 1: no signs of a subchondral bone lesion; grade 2: subchondral trabecular fracture or cystic changes, but without infraction of the subchondral bone plate; grade 3: collapse of the subchondral bone plate. Ratings were repeated after six weeks to determine reliability. In addition, the bone lesion size was measured as elliptical area (mm
