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

Background: CAM morphology of the hip is a disorder of abnormal morphology of the femoral head-neck junction associated with loss of the osseous sphericity of the femoral head. Several radiological measurements exist to detect CAM morphology of the hip. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the precision and efficacy of a new BROH CAM offset distance as a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameter designed to detect CAM morphology of the hip. Materials and Methods: Oblique axial MR images of 100 patients who underwent hip MRI scans were analyzed. Two readers measured the alpha angle and BROH CAM offset to detect CAM morphology. Diagnostic cutoff values for cam offset measurements were determined, and their diagnostic accuracies were evaluated. Results: The mean "alpha angle" measured on an oblique projection was 34.31 degrees (standard deviation [SD] = 14.63), and when measured on an axial projection, it was 41.98 degrees (SD = 7.44). The BROH CAM offset distance was 3.49 mm (SD = 0.90 mm). There was an excellent correlation between the new BROH CAM offset and the alpha angle with a Conclusion: Our new BROH CAM offset shows an excellent correlation with the alpha angle and is the easiest metric that can be used for the detection of CAM morphology of the hip.
