Pre-operative prediction of soft tissue balancing in knee arthoplasty part 1: Effect of surgical parameters during level walking.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
An important reason for poor functional outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty is inadequate soft tissue balancing. Custom-made cutting guides or computer-aided surgical navigation make possible to accurately achieve what is planned; the challenge is to perform a pre-operative planning that properly accounts for soft-tissue balancing. The first step in the development of a patient-specific computer model that can predict during pre-operative planning the post-operative soft-tissue balancing is a better understanding of the role that cutting heights and angles have on the balancing of the soft tissues after TKA as the patient perform the more common daily tasks. In the present study, we conducted a sensitivity analysis of the ligament elongations during level walking due to TKA as a function of position and orientation of the cutting guides, by means of a validated patient-specific dynamic model of the post-TKA knee biomechanics. The results suggest a considerable sensitivity of the collateral ligaments elongation to the surgical variables, and in particular to the varus-valgus angles of both tibia and femur. This complete elongation map can be used as a baseline for the development of reduced-order models to be integrated in pre-operative planning environments. © 2019 The Authors Journal of Orthopaedic Research.
