Sensitivity analysis of the material properties of different soft-tissues: implications for a subject-specific knee arthroplasty.
Review in Muscles, ligaments and tendons journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionWhile developing a subject-specific knee model, different kinds of data-inputs are required. If information about geometries can be definitely obtained from images, more effort is necessary for the
methodsThis work aims at developing an intact native subject-specific knee model for performing a sensitivity analysis on soft-tissues. The impacts on the biomechanical outputs were analysed during a daily activity for which articular knee kinetics and kinematics were compared among the different configurations. Prior to the sensitivity analysis, experimental and literature data were checked for the model reliability.
resultsAverage values of mixed sources allowed the agreement with experimental data for personalized outputs. From the sensitivity analysis, knee kinematics did not significantly change in the selected ranges of properties for the soft-tissues (in rotation less than 0.5°), while contact stresses were greatly affected, especially for the articular cartilage (with differences in the results more than 100%).
conclusionIn conclusion, during the development of a personalized knee model, the selection of the correct material properties is fundamental because wrong values could highly affect the numerical results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III a.
