Minimum 5-year follow-up results and functional outcome of rotating-platform high-flexion total knee arthroplasty: A prospective study of 701 knees.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundTo evaluate the midterm clinical outcome, functional outcome, associated complications, and survivorship of high-flexion posterior-stabilized rotating-platform total knee arthroplasty.
methodsWe prospectively analyzed 701 knees in 501 patients, who underwent total knee arthroplasty using high-flexion posterior-stabilized rotating-platform prosthesis. Patients were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively for their ability to kneel, do full squats, do half squats, and sit cross-legged by using a patient-administered questionnaire.
resultsSignificant improvement was seen in patient-reported outcomes at the mean follow-up of 5.5 (range, 5-7) years. Mean flexion achieved postoperatively was 135° (range, 120°-150°) from a mean preoperative flexion of 108.8° (range, 90°-120°). Ninety-five percent of patients were able to sit cross-legged, 90% were able to kneel, 70% were able to perform a half squat, and 20% were able to perform a full squat.
conclusionsPosterior-stabilized, rotating-platform, high-flexion design provides good postoperative flexion, functional outcome, and good midterm survivorship.
