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
Introduction: Paediatric Finite Element (FE) models of bones are scarce due to data Q7 unavailability. Recent research has developed statistical shape and density models (SSDMs) for paediatric populations, enabling good predictions of bone geometry and bone mineral density (BMD). However, the impact of bone shape and material property accuracy on stress and strain calculation remains poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of geometry and material property accuracies on Von Mises stress and 1st principalstrain distribution in paediatric femora and tibiae. Methods: Patient-specific bone geometry and BMD were extracted from 330 paediatric CT scans. Subsequently, two paediatric SSDMs were created, which can predict bone shape and BMD for the femur and tibia, respectively. Next, nine FE models were built for each femur and tibia in the dataset using different inputs for geometry and material properties: i) patient-specific from the CT scans; ii) predicted from the SSDM; iii) generic from the literature. Von Mises stresses and 1st principal strains were compared between the models under identical loading conditions. Results: The results showed that using SSDM-predicted or generic material properties increased the Von Mises stress and 1st principal strain Root Mean Square Errors compared to using material properties derived from CT scans. SSDM-predicted geometry and genericbased geometry associated with CT-based material properties showed the lowest errors of the eight models compared to the CT-based geometry and material properties model. Discussion: The results show a trend toward a greater influence of material property inaccuracies on the Von Mises stress and 1st principal strain distribution than geometry for this paediatric population.
