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
Background: Hip dysplasia (HD) is a prevalent cause of non-traumatic hip pain, which may result in osteoarthritis. Radiological measurements of HD exhibit variability based on reader and imaging modality, why it is important to know the agreement between different measurement methods. Purpose: To estimate agreement between measurements of lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and acetabular inclination angle (AIA) made, respectively, on Computed Tomography (CT) scans by humans and radiographs analyzed by an algorithm. To estimate impact of pelvic rotation on agreement between CT and radiographic measurements. Material and Methods: CT measurements were retrospectively extracted from 172 radiology reports. Radiographs were analyzed using an algorithm. Bland-Altman analysis assessed agreement between CT and radiographic measurements. Regression analyses estimated impact of pelvic rotation on inter-modality agreement. Results: Mean measured bias (95% confidence interval [CI]) between CT and radiographs for LCEA of right/left hip was 5.53° (95% CI: 4.81 to 6.24) and 5.13 (95% CI: 4.43 to 5.83), respectively. Corresponding values for right/left AIA were 1.08 (95% CI: 0.49 to 1.67) and -0.03 (95% CI: -0.60 to 0.05). Pelvic rotation affected right LCEA and AIA measurements, with a change in obturator foramen index of, respectively, 0.35 and 0.6 resulting in approximately 2° change in values. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in agreement of 5° between CT and radiographs for the LCEA bilaterally. The difference for the AIA was between 0 and 1°, probably of little clinical significance. Pelvic rotation slightly affected bias of the right LCEA, suggesting minimal clinical impact of a slightly rotated pelvis.
