[Balancing technique using bone cuts].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundKinematic alignment means a surgical technique that focuses on intraarticular balance and laxity and takes into consideration the prearthritic state of the knee joint.
aimThe aim of kinematic alignment is a constitutionally aligned joint space line and balanced tension of the soft tissue covering. By avoiding the proximalization of the joint line and the release of the ligaments, the risk of destabilization of the original physiology of the joint is reduced.
methodsAfter resections and recuts of the distal femur, a natural distal femoral joint line in full extension and the posterior line in 90° should be maintained or restored. Therefore, the flexion-extension axis of the femur, around which the knee joint moves, does not change. The principle of KA unequivocally requires the distal femoral cut to be performed before resection of the posterior femoral condyles.
resultsThe result is a natural knee joint alignment that approximately replicates the anatomy of the femoral and tibial axes. Release of the ligaments is rarely required and all necessary adjustments are usually made using bone recuts.
