Custom total knee: understanding the indication and process.
Review in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
Patient-specific total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a copy of the bony knee morphology based on a pre-op computer tomography (CT). The images are segmented in 3D and software is utilized through a proprietary process to generate individual total knee implants to recreate the articulating surfaces. The distal condylar valgus angle of the prosthesis is matched anatomically to the distal femur and reversely matched on the tibia with a thicker lateral insert. The implant, a set of patient-specific jigs (PSJ), which are 3D printed in nylon, and a detailed surgical plan are sent to the hospital in one box. The system is available with one solid or two separated medial and lateral PE inserts. There is a cruciate retaining (CR) and posterior stabilized (PS) version available, including various insert thicknesses. The system allows the addition of two different cemented stem extensions if needed at the time of surgery.
