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

Background: In dogs undergoing vertebral column stabilization, post-operative computed tomography (CT) evaluates implant placement. The impact on the interpretation of metallic artifact associated with titanium implants in dogs remains to be established. Our objective was to quantify metallic artifact on CT associated with titanium pedicle screws. Methods: The study design included an Results: The effective size was 26.9-43.8%, 9.2-18.5%, and 21.1-30.5% larger than the actual size for the Conclusion: Metallic artifact associated with titanium pedicle screws on CT resulted in an overestimation of screw size. This information might aid in the interpretation of implant placement on post-operative imaging.
