All types of component malrotation affect the early patient-reported outcome measures after total knee arthroplasty.

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
purposeOutcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), whether clinical, radiological or survival analysis, have been well-studied. Still, there are some concerns about patient satisfaction with the outcome of the surgery and factors that might contribute to a suboptimal result. This study aims to determine if there is correlation between primary TKA malalignment and early patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). MATERIALS AND
methodsSixty patients, who had primary TKA and a minimum of 2 years of follow up, were recruited for a detailed clinical and radiological examination. Knee alignment was measured in the coronal, sagittal and axial planes. Normal and the outlier measurements of the patients' knees were defined and the clinical results (PROMs) compared to see if there was a statistically significant difference.
resultsCorrelation between postoperative limb malalignment in the coronal and the sagittal planes and PROMs was not significant. Conversely, there was significant negative correlation between all types of malrotation and PROMs.
conclusionsAlthough malalignment has been linked to inferior outcome and implant survival, our results showed that coronal and sagittal limb malalignment has no significant effect on early PROMs. However, all types of component rotational malalignment significantly worsen early PROMs.
