Knee implant kinematics are task-dependent.
Article in Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become a standard surgical procedure for relieving pain, knowledge of the in vivo knee joint kinematics throughout common functional activities of daily living is still missing. The goal of this study was to analyse knee joint motion throughout complete cycles of daily activities in TKA subjects to establish whether a significant difference in joint kinematics occurs between different activities. Using dynamic videofluoroscopy, we assessed tibio-femoral kinematics in six subjects throughout complete cycles of walking, stair descent, sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit. The mean range of condylar anterior-posterior translation exhibited clear task dependency across all subjects. A significantly larger anterior-posterior translation was observed during stair descent compared to level walking and stand-to-sit. Local minima were observed at approximately 30° flexion for different tasks, which were more prominent during loaded task phases. This characteristic is likely to correspond to the specific design of the implant. From the data presented in this study, it is clear that the flexion angle alone cannot fully explain tibio-femoral implant kinematics. As a result, it seems that the assessment of complete cycles of the most frequent functional activities is imperative when evaluating the behaviour of a TKA design in vivo.
