What to Know for Selecting Cruciate-Retaining or Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasty.

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
There has been continuing debate about the superiority of cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) versus posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA for obtaining knee joint stability with functional improvement. Many surgeons tend to select the type of prosthesis on the basis of their own training and experience. However, the selection must be based on a great store of knowledge rather than on the surgeon's preconceptions or preferences. CR TKA may not be feasible in certain settings: posterior cruciate ligament insufficiency, severe deformity, and history of trauma or surgery. The risk of conversion from a CR type prosthesis to a PS type prosthesis might be high in patients with severe flexion contracture, steep posterior slope, and small femoral component size. The above factors should be carefully considered for an appropriate selection of the type of prosthesis. The surgeon should have a clear understanding on the technical differences between CR and PS TKAs. The amount of distal femoral resection, femoral component size, and tibial slope are particularly crucial for successful TKA. Unless they are meticulously determined, stiffness or instability will ensue, which can be difficult to resolve afterwards. There was no notable difference in functional outcome, range of motion, kinematics, and survival rate between CR and PS TKAs in most previous studies. Strict adherence to surgical indications and solid understanding of differences in surgical principles might be more important than the selection of either a CR or PS prosthesis.
