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.

Abstract

In the review of 67 cases with total condylar (TC) prostheses, 59 with TC posterior stabilizers, 70 with TC prostheses modified with flat posterior tibial plateau, and 35 with porous-coated arthroplasty (PCA) prostheses, multiple cross-examinations of various factors for postoperative flexion were performed. Follow up was 2 to 9 years. In nearly all cases, no further improvement of flexion was noted after 1 year following surgery. The most influential factor for good postoperative flexion was intense physical therapy, leading to good suprapatellar pouch reconstitution. Residual flexion contracture was more frequent when the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) was retained in the cases with significant preoperative flexion contracture. However, retention of PCL or preoperative ACL condition did not bear any significance to the ultimate flexion.
