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
Background: The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) for detecting labral tears is well established in femoroacetabular impingement but remains unclear in dysplastic hips undergoing hip arthroscopy (HA) combined with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Purpose: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of MRI and MRA in identifying labral tears in patients with dysplasia undergoing HA combined with PAO. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective, real-world study was conducted at a single tertiary hip preservation center. Patients included in the analysis had undergone primary HA and PAO with available radiologist interpretation for labral assessment. Diagnostic accuracy of MRI and MRA for detecting labral tears was assessed using arthroscopic findings as the reference standard. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (LR+), and negative likelihood ratio (LR-) were calculated. Results: A total of 122 patients (mean age, 22.3 years; SD, 5.6; 90% women) were included. Radiographic measurements showed a mean lateral center-edge angle of 22.91° (SD, 6.52), an acetabular index of 8.87° (SD, 5.27), and a Tönnis grade of 0.09 (SD, 0.35). Both MRI and MRA demonstrated low sensitivity (55% and 54.1%, respectively) and low specificity (38.5% and 45.5%, respectively). The PPV was moderate (67.3% for MRI; 71.4% for MRA), and the NPV was low (27% for MRI; 31.3% for MRA). LR+ and LR- values of MRI and MRA were close to 1. Conclusion: This study highlights the limited diagnostic accuracy of MRI and MRA for identifying labral tears in patients with hip dysplasia undergoing combined HA and PAO. Operative decisions regarding labral treatment at the time of PAO should not be based solely on preoperative imaging.
