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
Purpose: This clinical research aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination of fusiform capsulectomy of the posterior capsule and percutaneous flexion tendon release in the treatment of a fused knee with severe flexion contracture during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in three patients (six knees) who had preoperative severe bony fused flexion contracture (>80°) prior to TKA and received a combination of fusiform capsulectomy of posterior capsule and percutaneous flexion tendon release during TKA between January 2016 and December 2019. The range of motion (ROM), knee functional score, postoperative complications, and radiographic results were evaluated. Result: Three patients (six knees) were enrolled in this study. The mean duration of follow-up was 42.83 ± 15.77 months. The postoperative knee ROM was 100.0 (76.0, 102.75) ( Conclusion: The technique of a combination of fusiform capsulectomy of the posterior capsule and percutaneous flexion tendon release is an effective and safe method during primary TKA for a fused knee with severe flexion contracture.
