Effect of tibial slope changes on femorotibial contact kinematics after cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeThe present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of tibial slope (TS) changes on the femorotibial articular contact kinematics in subjects undergoing posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (CRTKA).
methodsEighteen knees in nine patients with medial osteoarthritis who underwent CRTKA using the same size prosthesis were analysed preoperatively and 2 years after TKA. TS changes were calculated on lateral radiographs taken before and after TKA. Knees were classified into two groups according to the change in TS obtained by subtracting the post-operative value from the preoperative value: group 1 (>3°) and group 2 (<3°). The femorotibial articular contact kinematics of knees during weight-bearing flexion were compared between the two groups by two-dimensional/three-dimensional registration.
resultsGroup 1 showed a continuous posterior translation of the medial femoral condyle during the process of knee flexion, whereas in group 2 the medial femoral condyle experienced paradoxical anterior motion from 20° to 90° of knee flexion. The lateral femoral condyle continuously moved posteriorly in both groups.
conclusionA greater reduction in TS after TKA compared with preoperative TS reduces paradoxical medial femoral condylar movement. This may contribute to improved patient satisfaction after CR TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
