Retrospective comparative study shows no significant difference in postural stability between cruciate-retaining (CR) and cruciate-substituting (PS) total knee implant systems.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeModified postural stability after retaining the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in total knee arthroplasty is still discussed controversially. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether a PCL-retaining implant design should be preferred over a PCL-substituting implant design regarding postural stability in one-leg stance and clinical outcome.
methodsForty patients underwent total knee arthroplasty, 20 of them with a cruciate-retaining (CR) and 20 of them with a cruciate-substituting (PS) implant system. Postural stability was analysed 6 months postoperatively in one-leg stance using the Biodex Balance System. In addition, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and Knee Society Score were completed.
resultsThis study shows that there is no significant difference in postural stability between CR and PS) implant systems with PS implants showing better results in WOMAC score.
conclusionsIn case it is necessary to use a PS implant, no negative influence on postural stability is to be expected compared to a CR implant.
