The effect of articular geometry features identified using statistical shape modelling on knee biomechanics.
Article in Medical engineering & physics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
Articular geometry in the knee varies widely among people which has implications for risk of injury and pathology. The goals of this work were to develop a framework to systematically vary geometry in a multibody knee model and to use this framework to investigate the effect of morphological features on dynamic knee kinematics and contact mechanics. A statistical shape model of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints was created from magnetic resonance images of 14 asymptomatic knees. The shape model was then used to generate 37 unique multibody knee models based on -3 to +3 standard deviations of the scores for the first six principal components identified. Each multibody model was then incorporated into a lower extremity musculoskeletal model and the Concurrent Optimization of Muscle Activations and Kinematics (COMAK) routine was used to simulate knee mechanics for overground walking. Changes in articular geometry affected knee function, resulting in differences up to 17° in orientation, 8 mm in translation, 0.7 BW in contact force, and 2.0 MPa in mean cartilage contact pressure. Understanding the relationship between shape and function in a joint could provide insight into the mechanisms behind injury and pathology and the variability in response to treatment.
