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

The objective of the present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of radiography to computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of distal tarsal osteoarthritis. All images were interpreted and scored by 2 evaluators until a consensus was reached; they were blinded to the history, final imaging diagnosis, and results of the corresponding radiographic or CT study. On radiographs and CT images of 54 tarsi, 6 criteria (osteophyte/enthesophyte height, small/large subchondral bone radiolucencies, subchondral bone thickness, joint space narrowing) were scored in the proximal intertarsal (PIJ), distal intertarsal (DIJ), and tarsometatarsal joint (TMTJ). Compared to CT, mean radiographic scores were significantly lower for 1. small and large subchondral bone radiolucencies in all joints (
