A novel surgical technique to perform total knee arthroplasty in patients with inaccessible femoral medullary canal.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Not seldom Surgeons have to deal with total knee cases where the femoral intramedullary canal is not accessible due to hardware still in place, long hip stems or diaphyseal mal-unions, so intra-medullary referenced instrumentations cannot be employed. We developed a novel instrument called EMAS (Extra Medullary Alignment System) able to help addressing those cases in a simple and reproducible way avoiding the use of more complex and expensive technologies. We present the results achieved using EMAS on 18 of those difficult cases with a maximum follow-up of 7 years as well as our experience using EMAS in our standard practice.
