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
This study aimed to investigate the influence of tibial malrotation on knee kinematics after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A symmetric fixed-bearing posterior-stabilized prosthesis was implanted in the validated knee model with different rotational alignments of the tibial component (neutral, 3° external rotation, 5° external rotation, 3° internal rotation, and 5° internal rotation). Computational kinematic simulations were used to evaluate the postoperative kinematics of the knee joint including anteroposterior translation femoral condyles and axial rotation of tibial component during 0°-135° knee flexion. The results revealed that the neutral position of the tibial component was not the closest kinematics to the intact knee, the model with 5° external rotation of the tibial component showed the closest lateral condyle translation and tibial axial rotation, and moderate external rotation could improve the kinematics after TKA.
