[Importance of the tibial slope in knee arthroplasty].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Notwithstanding the contributions of soft tissue restraints on postoperative kinematics and long-term survival after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is an emerging consensus that the underlying anatomy, especially the posterior inclination of the tibial plateau in the sagittal plane (tibial slope), might just have a comparable impact. However, this has not been fully elucidated as yet. Therefore, a thorough literature search, analysis and presentation of current scientific data was conducted. The tibial slope has been shown to relate linearly to the postoperative range of motion and function of the extensor mechanism. Furthermore, it impacts wear of the tibial insert and loosening, as well as instability of the TKA. As no consensus has been reached on the ideal tibial slope, recommendations range from 0° to 10°. Notably, more recent studies favor reconstructing the native, preoperative tibial slope, and the majority of authors advocate that knowledge of this is crucial for optimal TKA surgery.
