Tuning and validation of a virtual mechanical testing pipeline for condylar stress fracture risk assessment in Thoroughbred racehorses.
Article in Royal Society open science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Condylar stress fracture of the third metacarpal/metatarsal bone (MC3/MT3) in Thoroughbred racehorses is a common catastrophic injury, putting both the racehorse and the jockey at risk. Microdamage forms in the distal MC3 and may result in strain elevation and higher risk of stress fracture, directly and through focal osteolysis resulting from the associated damage repair by remodelling in the condylar parasagittal grooves (PSG). Standing computed tomography (sCT) is a practical screening tool for detecting fatigue-induced structural changes, but clinical interpretation remains subjective. The goal of this study was to develop and validate an sCT-based, subject-specific finite element analysis pipeline for virtual mechanical testing of the distal MC3. Twelve (
