Distal femoral valgus cut angles unreliable in total knee arthroplasty.
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 2 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
We hypothesized that valgus distal femoral cut angle made using a conventional cutting guide would be reproducible in a Sawbone model, regardless of training level. 3°, 5°, or 7° valgus cuts were made on lower extremity Sawbone specimens and were measured with radiographic imaging. 66 patient radiographs were also analyzed to compare pre and post-operative femoral cut angles, and VR12 measurements from each patient were collected. All femoral cuts deviated significantly from target cuts. Also, pre-TKA valgus angles showed no correlation with the angles post-TKA, and final cut angle did not correlate with functional outcomes at 1 year post-surgery.
