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
Anthropometric data on medial tibial condyles and medial femoral condyles of 172 normal knees (94 male knees, 78 female knees) were obtained using three-dimensional computer tomographic measurements. In the medial tibial condyle, we measured the anteroposterior (AP) and widest dimension (WD), and compared the measurements with the similar dimensions of five tibial unicondylar knee prostheses conventionally used in China. In the femur, we used best-fit two-circular arcs to measure the morphology of the sagittal plane of the medial femoral condyle. We found that three of the prostheses showed WD overhang for all ranges of the AP dimension, while two of them showed WD underhang. We also found a progressive decrease in the condylar aspect ratio (WD/AP%) in parallel with an increase in the AP dimension in the medial tibial condyle. However, none of the conventional tibial prosthesis showed a similar change. Furthermore, males had larger values in aspect ratio than females with the same values for AP dimension. There were definite correlations between the radius of the curvature for the posterior part (R1) and distal part (R2) in the sagittal plane of medial femoral condyle. Both of these values were smaller than in the Caucasian population. Both radiuses of curvature for the posterior and distal components showed definite correlations with the AP dimension. The results of this study may provide guidelines for designing unicondylar knee prostheses suitable for the Chinese population.
