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

objectiveTo assess the correlation of pre-operative symptoms, pre-operative diagnostic imaging for cartilage loss, and intra-operative cartilage findings in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. MATERIALS AND

methodsThree radiologists performed retrospective independent reviews of pre-operative MRIs in 96 hips for acetabular/femoral cartilage loss utilizing a simplified "high-low" classification and the International Cartilage Repair Society grading system. Severity of supra-foveal central femoral head cartilage loss was separately noted. Pre-operative radiographs were graded using the Tonnis and Kellgren-Lawrence systems and for central joint space narrowing. Pre-operative patient symptoms were prospectively gathered utilizing the Nonarthritic Hip Score and the modified Harris Hip Score. Intra-operatively, cartilage loss was recorded using the Outerbridge system.

resultsA moderate-to-strong positive correlation between pre-operative radiographic and MR cartilage loss was observed (0.21

conclusionDespite MRI underestimation of cartilage loss, the very weak-to-weak correlation of clinical symptoms with pre-operative imaging and intra-operative findings emphasizes the importance of MRI in pre-operative evaluation.
