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

backgroundKinematic alignment recently became an alternative alignment option for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Beside previous studies assessing mechanical alignment in comparison to unintentional malalignment of TKA in terms of implant survival and clinical outcome, more and more studies have focused on the direct comparison of intentional kinematic alignment with mechanical alignment of the prosthesis. In the past 5 years the number of studies with respect to kinematic alignment has risen from 11 to 91 studies.

aimThe aim of this review article is to give a narrative overview of the current literature in the debate concerning kinematic and mechanical alignment in TKA.
