1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The purpose of this study was to define a cut-off value for the posterior drawer position in stress radiography that confirms an insufficiency of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this retrospective study, 20 symptomatic patients with flexion instability and suspected PCL insufficiency in CR TKA were included. Asymptomatic patients served as an age- and sex-matched control group. All of the patients had undergone stress radiography, and the posterior translation was measured in a posterior drawer position at 30° and 90° flexion. The two groups were compared using t-tests and chi-square tests. The stress radiographs showed significantly more posterior translation in the symptomatic group (
