Unconstrained arthroplasty in type II valgus knees: posterior stabilized or cruciate retaining?
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeType II valgus knees are defined by medial collateral ligament laxity. This paper studies the results of posterior stabilized (PS) and cruciate retaining (CR) knee implants in type II valgus knees.
methodsFrom 1999 to 2009, there were 100 type II valgus knees in 95 patients eligible for study (63 PS, 37 CR). Patients had prospectively collected clinical data up to 2 years after surgery.
resultsAt 24 months after surgery, the CR group had reduced range of motion (PS: median 126.0°, CR: median 114°; n.s.) and a marginally but statistically significant increased valgus alignment (PS: median 5°, CR: median 6°; p = 0.011). Despite this, both groups produced equal and marked improvements in SF-36, function score and knee score of the Knee Society score, and Oxford knee score.
conclusionsOverall, both PS and CR implants performed equally well in type II valgus knees at 24 months post-operatively. Further longer-term studies would be warranted to assess for late instability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective, Level III.
