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

The supraacetabular fossa (SAF) is a bony fossa in the acetabular roof's load-bearing region. Its role in acetabular development and hip morphology remains unclear, with potential implications for hip preservation procedures. We aimed to (i) determine the prevalence of SAF by age, (ii) measure its dimensions in patients with hip pain undergoing magnetic resonance (MR) arthrogram, and (iii) assess associations between SAF and acetabular or femoral morphologies. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with hip pain who underwent MR arthrograms. SAF were classified as type 1 (unfilled) or type 2 (cartilage-filled), and its dimensions measured. Acetabular and femoral morphology were assessed on radiographs, and hips were categorized into 13 morphology groups. 697 hips from 615 patients were included. SAF was present in 10.9% (76/697) of hips, with affected patients being younger (24.3 ± 7.6 years) than those without SAF (31.8 ± 11.2 years,
