Native rotational knee kinematics are lost in bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty when the tibial component is replaced.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeTo compare the kinematics between native knees and knees that have undergone bicruciate-retaining (BCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA converted from BCR TKA in the same whole-body cadaveric specimen using a navigation system and, if differences exist, to investigate the point at which normal kinematics are lost during the procedure.
methodsThe rotational kinematics throughout passive flexion of the native knee and of knees after meniscectomy, femoral replacement, BCR TKA, or CR TKA were assessed in nine fresh frozen cadavers using an image-free navigation system.
resultsThe rotational kinematic pattern of a knee after BCR TKA was different from that of a native knee, especially in the early flexion phase, and was similar to that after CR TKA. Screw-home movement was not observed after BCR TKA, but still occurred after meniscectomy or femoral replacement with intact cruciate ligaments and an intact tibial articular surface.
conclusionThe rotational kinematics of the native knee are not always preserved after BCR TKA. Native rotational kinematics are preserved after meniscectomy and femoral replacement, but are lost after tibial replacement in BCR TKA. Surgeons should pay close attention to maintain the anteroposterior stabilizing function of the ACL in BCR TKA, rather than to restore the native rotational kinematics.
