The biomechanical effect of different posterior tibial slopes on the tibiofemoral joint after posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundDifferent posterior tibial slopes (PTS) after posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty (PS-TKA) may lead to different biomechanical characteristics of knee joint. This cadaveric study was designed to investigate the tibiofemoral kinematics and contact pressures after PS-TKA with different PTS.
methodsNine human cadaveric knee specimens were used for PS-TKA with the PTS of 3°, 6°, and 9°. The tibiofemoral kinematics and contact pressures were measured during knee flexion angle changing from 0 to 120° (with an increment of 10°) with an axial load of 1000 N at each angle.
resultsThe root mean square (RMS) of the tibiofemoral contact area and the mean and peak contact pressures during knee flexion were 586.2 mm
conclusionAfter TKA, the tibiofemoral contact area is reduced, and the contact pressure is increased greatly. Approximately 80% of the femoral rotation is lost, and only about 60% of the femoral translation of lateral condyle is recovered. TKA with larger PTS results in more posterior femoral translation, larger contact area, and smaller contact pressure, indicating that with caution, it may be beneficial to properly increase PTS for PS-TKA.
