Comparison of an Accelerometer-Based Portable Navigation System, Patient-Specific Instrumentation, and Conventional Instrumentation for Femoral Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Knee surgery & related research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 KneeAlign2 (KA2, OrthoAlign Inc.) accelerometer-based portable navigation system and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI; Signature, ZimmerBiomet) are widely used for ideal femoral component alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there has been no comparative study of the KA2 system, PSI, and conventional intramedullary instrumentation (CON). The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy in achieving proper femoral component alignment and clinical features by using the KA2 navigation system, PSI, and CON. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively compared the accuracy of femoral component alignment of 34 TKAs performed with the KA2 system for implantation of the femoral component, 32 TKAs with PSI, and 33 TKAs with CON.
resultsIn the coronal plane, use of the KA2 system was more likely to result in optimal femoral component alignment than the CON and PSI (p<0.01). In the sagittal plane, use of the KA2 system was more likely to result in optimal component alignment than PSI, but the difference between the KA2 and CON was insignificant.
conclusionsThe portable accelerometer-based KA2 navigation system enabled ideal femoral implantation in the coronal and sagittal planes, as compared to the PSI or CON.
