1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The knee joint center of rotation is altered in the absence of the anterior cruciate ligament, which leads to substantially higher variance in kinematic patterns. To overcome this, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs with a high congruency in the lateral compartment have been proposed. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of a lateral pivot TKA-design on in-vivo knee joint kinematics. Tibiofemoral motion was retrospectively addressed in 10 patients during unloaded flexion-extension and loaded lunge using single plane fluoroscopy. During the unloaded flexion-extension movement, the lateral condyle remained almost stationary with little rollback at maximum flexion. The medial condyle exhibited anterior translation during the whole flexion cycle. During the loaded lunge movement, a higher degree of rollback compared to the unloaded activity was observed on the lateral condyle, whereas the medial condyle remained almost stationary. The results showed a clear lateral pivot during the unloaded activity, reflective of the implant's geometric characteristics, and a change to a medial pivot and a higher lateral rollback during the weight-bearing conditions, revealing the impact of load and muscle force. It remains unclear if the kinematics with a lateral TKA design could be considered as physiological, due to the limited knowledge available on native knee joint kinematics.
