Bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty non-inferior to posterior-stabilized prostheses after 5 years: a randomized, controlled trial.

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
purposeBicruciate-retaining (BCR) prostheses may improve satisfaction of patient undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to assess whether BCR prostheses provide better clinical outcomes than posterior-stabilized (PS) prostheses. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a randomized single-blind control trial involving a total of 77 patients with knee osteoarthritis, randomly assigned to undergo TKA with a BCR or PS implant between 2015 and 2019. Mean follow-up period was 39 months. Clinical and demographic data were extracted manually from medical records. Data acquisition included patient demographics, knee range of motion, and patient-reported outcomes via KSS, KOOS, WOMAC, and SF-12 scores.
resultsA total of 38 patients were randomized to the PS group and 39 to the BCR group. At the 5-year follow-up, no statistical differences were noted for knee range of motion or patient-reported outcomes between the two groups, except for a greater knee flexion in the early follow-up period in the PS group. Five adverse events occurred in the BCR group compared to none in the PS group (p = 0.02).
conclusionBCR TKA yield similar clinical and patient-reported outcomes 5 years following the intervention compared with PS TKA. The BCR TKA had more complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: I (Randomized Controlled Trial).
