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
backgroundRecently, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs that allow the use of narrow-version femoral implants have been introduced to avoid femoral overhang. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of the use of narrow-version femoral implants and identify the difference in radiographic parameters between using a narrow-version femoral implant and a standard-version femoral implant in TKA.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 504 primary TKAs using a TKA system (Anthem or Persona) that allowed narrow-version femoral implants. Anteroposterior (AP) dimension, mediolateral (ML) dimension, and modified aspect percentage ratio (ML/AP dimension) of the distal femur in preoperative radiographs were compared between a standard-version group (n = 275) and a narrow-version group (n = 229). A cut-off value of a modified aspect percentage ratio indicating the need for a narrow-version femoral implant was determined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
resultsMean ML dimension was 80.9 ± 6.1 mm in the standard-version group and 77.3 ± 4.4 mm in the narrow-version group (p < 0.001). Mean modified aspect percentage ratio was 138.8 ± 8.1% in the standard-version group and 131.7 ± 6.3% in the narrow-version group (p < 0.001). The optimum cut-off point of the modified aspect percentage ratio for narrow-version femoral implants was 135.4% (sensitivity: 72.0%; specificity: 66.7%) for Anthem and 133.3% (sensitivity: 75.9%, specificity: 76.4%) for Persona.
conclusionIn the narrow-version femoral implant group, the ML dimension and the mean modified aspect percentage ratio were smaller than in the standard-version femoral implant group. A smaller modified aspect percentage ratio of the distal femur in preoperative radiographs could predict the need for narrow-version femoral implants in TKA. It was suggested that the cut-off point could be suggested as 135.4% for Anthem TKA design and 133.3% for Persona TKA design. These radiographic parameters are cost-effective and easily applicable for planning a TKA.A smaller modified aspect percentage ratio of the distal femur in preoperative radiographs could predict the need for narrow-version femoral implants in TKA. The cut-off point was 135.4% for Anthem TKA design and 133.3% for Persona TKA design.
