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: Recalcitrant lateral elbow pain is often associated with minor lateral elbow instability, involving laxity of the radial band of the lateral collateral ligament and the annular ligament. To date, the role of coronoid morphology in this pathology has never been studied. This study aims to investigate the potential relationship between lateral elbow pain and specific morphometric measurements of the coronoid process using flexion computed tomography arthrography. Methods: All elbow flexion computed tomography arthrography from the hospital server was retrospectively analyzed. A total of 133 patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: 108 with lateral elbow pain and 25 controls. Coronoid flange and width were measured and compared to the radioulnar articular width in both groups. Results: No significant morphometric differences in the coronoid process were found between patients with chronic lateral elbow pain and controls. Conclusion: Other factors, such as capsuloligamentous structures, may have a greater impact on recalcitrant lateral elbow pain compared to the bony morphology of the medial structure of the elbow.
