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

objectiveThis study aims to develop hip morphology-based radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) risk prediction models and investigates the added predictive value of hip morphology measurements and the generalizability to different populations.

methodsWe combined data from nine prospective cohort studies participating in the Worldwide Collaboration on OsteoArthritis prediCtion for the Hip (World COACH) consortium. RHOA grades were harmonized, and incident RHOA was defined as hips without definite RHOA at baseline that developed definite RHOA within four to eight years. Baseline hip morphology was quantified with automatically and uniformly determined lateral center edge angle and alpha angle measurements on anteroposterior radiographs. Discriminative performance of generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) definitions with and without hip morphology measurements was determined with stratified cross-validation. With leave-one-cohort-out cross-validation, the generalizability to unseen populations of hip morphology-based GLMMs and random forest (RF) models was evaluated.

resultsFrom the included 35,984 hips without definite RHOA at baseline, 4.7% developed incident RHOA within four to eight years. The GLMM with cohort-specific intercept, considering baseline demographics, RHOA grade, and hip morphology measurements, showed a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.80 (±0.01) in stratified cross-validation. Using a marginal intercept decreased performance by 0.1 in AUC. Similar results were found for a GLMM without hip morphology measurements. Leave-one-cohort-out cross-validation showed comparable discrimination (AUC between 0.56-0.88) and calibration performance for hip morphology-based GLMMs and RF models.

conclusionIn hips free of definite RHOA, our AUCs for the incident RHOA models showed good predictive performance in similar populations. However, the added predictive value of the morphology measurements was small, and model performance was heterogeneous in leave-one-cohort-out cross-validation.
