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: Imaging in children with capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (COCD) is crucial for surgical decision-making but remains challenging. Novel photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) technology enables superior resolution while reducing radiation dose. This study aims to describe interrater agreement (IRA) for COCD characteristics assessed with PCCT and to make a comparison with conventional CT. Methods: At a tertiary referral hospital, anonymized PCCT and conventional CT scans of COCD lesions were assessed systematically and independently by 2 experienced clinicians and 2 musculoskeletal radiologists, excluding postoperative scans. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals was used to describe IRA among all raters. Results: In the PCCT group (n = 29), ICCs for loose body count, lesion size in the sagittal plane, presence of an empty defect, and presence of an osseous bridge were 0.75 (95% CI: 0.61-0.86), 0.68 (0.51-0.81), 0.64 (0.47-0.78), and 0.60 (0.43-0.76), respectively. ICCs of physeal status, lateral wall involvement, fragmentation, depth, and tilting had a lower bound of the 95% confidence interval below 0.4. In the conventional CT group (n = 12), ICCs for loose body count and osseous bridging were statistically significantly lower than in the PCCT group after adjustment for multiple testing ( Conclusion: PCCT assessment of COCD demonstrates at least substantial IRA for loose body count and at least moderate IRA for lesion size and the presence of an empty defect or bony bridge. Moreover, PCCT may enable higher IRA than conventional CT.
