1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this second part is to review the existing described methods for measuring postoperative total knee arthroplasty (TKA) alignment in sagital and axial plane as well as the existing literature regarding the axial plane evaluation with the use of computer tomography. Given that the most frequent mistakes when positioning the total knee arthroplasty components are made in the axial plane, it is necessary to know what are the limits of radiographic evaluation, for which CT scan is the most valuable tool in assessing the rotation of the components.
