Clinical and Functional Outcomes: Primary Constrained Condylar Knee Arthroplasty Compared With Posterior Stabilized Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionConstrained condylar knee (CCK) prostheses are commonly used in difficult primary total knee arthroplasty and revision total knee arthroplasty. We postulate that the use of CCK prostheses in primary knee arthroplasty may result in decreased range of motion but with better patient-reported functional scores compared with primary posterior stabilized (PS) knee prostheses because of increased varus and valgus stability from increased constraint.
methodsWe conducted a case-control study using prospectively collected data on functional outcome scores and range of motion preoperatively and at 6 months and at 2 years. Thirty-eight patients with primary CCK arthroplasty were matched with 38 patients with primary PS knee arthroplasty treated by a single surgeon. Institutional review board approval was obtained. Analysis was done using the independent
resultsTotal 76 patients with 61 (80.3%) female patients, 30 (39.5%) left knees, and 9 (11.8%) valgus knees. There was no significant difference in preoperative age (CCK arthroplasty 70.7 ± 6.0 years versus PS knee arthroplasty 68.5 ± 5.2 years;
conclusionThe use of CCK prostheses in primary knee arthroplasty gives similar clinical and functional outcomes at 2 years as those of PS knee prostheses, despite increased constraint.
