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
Biplanar videoradiography is a validated method for measuring skeletal kinematics. However, using two x-ray source-detector pairs introduces geometric constraints that can compromise image quality. The spatial configuration of the two pairs often requires a larger object-to-image distance (OID), leading to greater magnification and geometric blur. Consequently, increased magnification can limit the effective field of view, restricting multi-joint analyses. Additionally, geometric blur degrades image quality, potentially compromising subsequent bone registrations. To address this limitation, this proof-of-concept study evaluated a monoplane stereoscopic videoradiography (MSV) configuration. MSV uses two x-ray sources captured by a single detector, enabling a smaller OID. A pseudo-dynamic experiment was conducted to assess whether MSV would achieve accurate calibration and subsequent three-dimensional (3D) bone positions. A cube and pelvis phantom were rotated 360° on a turntable in 15° increments. At each increment, positions were recorded using both conventional motion capture (MOCAP) and MSV, with MOCAP acting as the reference standard. During MSV image acquisition, a lead barrier alternately blocked one x-ray source, allowing the other to project onto the detector. Calibration was performed using a bundle adjustment technique, and 3D bone positions were calculated using radiostereometric analysis and model-based tracking and compared against MOCAP. Overall, MSV achieved sub-millimeter and sub-degree accuracy. The calibration yielded a mean residual of 0.22 mm, while rotational and translational biases ranged from 0.36-1.16° and 0.22-1.23 mm, respectively, with precisions of 0.09-0.59° and 0.18-0.58 mm. These results support the feasibility of using MSV to accurately calculate skeletal positions. This approach reduces magnification and, by extension, geometric blur, opening avenues for multi-joint analyses and improved imaging of deeper joints. Future work will focus on implementing a true asynchronous MSV acquisition to extend this approach to dynamic,
