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

Hip arthroscopy is a technically demanding procedure with a steep learning curve. Even accessing the hip joint, if performed improperly, will make the remainder of the case more difficult and potentially cause iatrogenic injury. Much like the rudder of a boat, the spinal needle bevel edge can be steered through tissue in a manner to ensure smooth sailing when accessing the hip. The purpose of this article is to provide a better understanding of how to maximize the capabilities of a bevel-edge needle through use of the "rudder technique" to gain access in a more efficient and atraumatic fashion.
