Fixed distal femoral valgus cutting angle is still justifiable in total knee replacement.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. 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
purposeWe undertook this study to determine whether it is justifiable to use a fixed femoral valgus angle in patients undergoing TKR.
method134 knees (59 females and 19 males) were studied by measuring their femoral valgus angle (FVA) on CT scan and the data was assessed statistically.
resultThe average FVA was 5.83° ± 0.64 (range - 4-7.5°). There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between the FVA between males and females and as per age.
conclusionWe conclude that it is justifiable to use a fixed femoral valgus cutting angle in the patients undergoing total knee replacement.
