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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy, precision and the rate of correct screw size selection of the ADEPTH
methodsThe depths of holes, drilled in the femur, tibia and bilateral radii of a Thiel embalmed human cadaver, were measured with both the ADEPTH and a DG. Depths measured on a high resolution computed tomography (CT) scan served as a reference for the ADEPTH and the DG measurements. Errors and variances of the errors of the ADEPTH and DG measurements, compared to the CT measurements, were analyzed to assess the accuracy and precision, respectively. Additionally, the proportion of correct screw size selection of both the DG and ADEPTH system were established based on the agreement with the CT measurements.
resultsThe ADEPTH showed a smaller mean absolute error (0.72 mm [0.62, 0.83]) compared to the DG measurements (0.88 mm [0.75, 1.02]), yet the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.098). The ADEPTH showed higher precision compared to the DG measurements. The ADEPTH measurements showed a significantly higher agreement with the CT (68%) as compared to the DG measurements (52%) (p = 0.03).
conclusionThe ADEPTH automatic sensor system has a comparable accuracy and higher precision than the conventional depth gauge (DG), translating into a higher rate of accurately selected screw sizes. Further clinical studies should be performed to investigate the employability and benefit of the ADEPTH in a clinical setting.
