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
introductionPrevious studies have reported the relationship between coronal alignment of the lower limbs and the rotational profile of the femur and tibia. However, the relationship between coronal alignment of the femur and tibia and their rotational profiles in patients with varus osteoarthritic knees is unclear.
methodsOne hundred women with varus osteoarthritic knees (varus OA group) and 50 women with neutrally aligned lower limbs without osteoarthritis (non-OA group) were evaluated retrospectively. The coronal alignment and rotational profile of the femur and tibia were evaluated, and the correlation between coronal alignment and rotational profile was analyzed, respectively.
resultsThe femoral anteversion, posterior condylar angle of the distal femur, and tibial torsion were significantly smaller in the varus OA group than in the non-OA group. In the varus OA group, the femoral anteversion and rotational profile of the distal femur had significantly negative correlations with the degree of femoral varus, while tibial torsion was not related to the degree of tibial varus. In the non-OA group, there was no relationship between coronal alignment and rotational profiles of the femur and tibia in both the varus OA and non-OA groups.
conclusionFemoral anteversion and the rotational profile of the distal femur were negatively correlated with the degree of femoral varus in Asian women with varus osteoarthritic knees. This study enhanced the understanding of the relationship between changes in coronal alignment of the femur and tibia and their rotational profiles in patients with varus osteoarthritic lower limbs, although this study was limited by the small sample sizes and methodological quality.
