Quantitative traits of early-stage osteochondrosis lesions in porcine distal femurs are consistent with skeletal developmental age.

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
Early-stage osteochondrosis (OC) lesions are focal failures of endochondral ossification in the physeal and epiphyseal regions. Lesions are initially detected and quantified as ossification variants using non-invasive imaging methods. The etiology of OC lesions is not understood, as early-stage lesions are rarely imaged in children or animals until symptoms advance to stages that require intervention. The distal femur, a common site for OC lesions, provides an easily accessible, anatomical location to study early-stage development. Non-invasive CT and MRI techniques for distinguishing early-stage lesions were compared in images collected from Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Studies. Osteochondrosis lesion traits in the physeal and epiphyseal regions of swine distal femurs were quantified. Cross-sectional subjects were randomly selected from asymptomatic, crossbred swine at 7, 12, and 24 wk of age. A longitudinal cohort was repeatedly imaged at 6, 12, and 18 wk of age. Subsets of femurs from each age group were selected for histological analysis. Ossification variants defined as abnormal physeal widths without defined OC lesions, were observed at 7 wk. At 12 wk, 2.7 ± 1.8 physeal lesions per pig with an average volume = 9.8 ± 10.0 mm
