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
purposeTo investigate whether intraoperative kinematics obtained by navigation systems can be divided into several kinematic patterns and to assess the correlation between the intraoperative kinematics with maximum flexion angles before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodFifty-four posterior-stabilised (PS) TKA implanted using an image-free navigation system were evaluated. At registration and after implantation, tibial internal rotation angles at maximum extension, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, and maximum flexion were collected. The rotational patterns were divided into four groups and were examined the correlation with maximum flexion before and after operation.
resultsTibial internal rotation from 90° of flexion to maximum flexion at registration was correlated with maximum flexion angles pre- and postoperatively. The four groups showed statistically different kinematic patterns. The group with tibial external rotation up to 90° of flexion, following tibial internal rotation at registration, achieved better flexion angles, compared to those of another groups (126.7° ± 12.0°, p < 0.05). The group with tibial external rotation showed the worst flexion angles (80.0° ± 40.4°, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the group with limited extension showed worse flexion angles (111.6° ± 8.9°, p < 0.05).
conclusionNavigation-based kinematic patterns found at registration predict postoperative maximum flexion angle in PS TKA. Navigation-based kinematics can be useful information during TKA surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic studies, development of diagnostic criteria in a consecutive series of patients and a universally applied "gold" standard, Level II.
