Morphometrical measurement of resected surface of medial and lateral proximal tibia for Chinese population.

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
purposeThe objective of this study was to analyze the morphology of the medial tibial plateau and lateral tibial plateau in Chinese knees and compared these measurements and features with those of commercial unicondylar tibial baseplates.
methodsThree-dimensional knee models were reconstructed from computed tomography slices of 81 subjects. Among the series, 27 knees were from male subjects and 54 knees from female subjects. The dimensions and shape of the medial and lateral tibial plateaus were measured and compared with six commercially available unicondylar tibial baseplates.
resultsThe results showed significant differences between the shapes of the medial and lateral tibial plateaus. For the lateral tibial plateau, the shape was symmetric about the mediolateral axis. The medial plateaus presented their widest mediolateral width in an obviously more posterior position than the lateral compartment. Additionally, the plateau aspect ratio decreased with increasing mediolateral dimensions, in contrast to the constant aspect ratio shown by conventional unicondylar knee prostheses.
conclusionCompartment-specific designs may optimize coverage between the prosthesis and resected tibial surface. The morphometrical measurements presented may allow manufacturers to design tibial baseplates that accommodate the structural variability between different ethnic groups. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prospective comparative study, Level II.
