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

Multi radius (MR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been associated with mid-flexion instability.Single radius (SR) TKA may provide better anteroposterior stability through single flexion axis and biomechanical advantage for quadriceps function.Medial pivot (MP) TKA and gradually reducing (GR) radius TKA produce better knee kinematics.Clinical outcomes are equivalent for SR, MR and MP TKA.Short-term studies have shown better clinical outcomes and kinematics for GR TKA.Thinner and narrow anterior flange, deeper trochlea groove and more anatomical trochlea design reduces patellofemoral complications in TKAUltracongruent inserts provide comparable clinical outcomes to posterior-stabilized TKA and cruciate retaining TKA.
