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

clinical/methodical issueSubchondral insufficiency fractures (SIF) occur without adequate trauma to the weight-bearing joint surfaces due to repeated physiological loading and occur predominantly in older people. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Radiographs. METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS: MRI is the best method for the detection, follow-up, and assessment of the prognosis of subchondral insufficiency fractures. PERFORMANCE: The typical MRI findings of SIF are bone marrow edema, a subchondral hypointense fracture line, and possibly a subchondral hypointense area on T2-weighted sequences. Subchondral cortical deformity and a fluid-filled cleft indicate advanced SIF with a poor prognosis. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Subchondral insufficiency fractures can heal spontaneously or progress to collapse. The task of radiology is to distinguish between lesions that heal (simple subchondral insufficiency fractures) and lesions that progress unfavorably (subchondral insufficiency fractures with osteonecrosis).
