High flexion knee arthroplasty: the relationship between rotational angles and flexion angle after total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The current patients required high flexion total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesized the patients who would get the high rotational angle just after TKA could gain high flexion knee 1 year after TKA. Sixty-three patients (average age: 70.6 years) were examined. In order to examine between the intraoperative rotational angles and the gained flexion angles after TKA, the patients were divided into two groups: the H group (more than 120°) and the L groups (less than 120°) by the gained flexion angles. The relationship between the flexion angles at 1 year after surgery and the intraoperative rotational angle had no significant correlation. But the rotational angles in the L group tended to be higher than the ones in the H group, and at only 30°, the L group gained significantly more rotational angle than the H group. These results might show that a tighter rotational stability induces a gain of higher flexion knee after TKA.
