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
introductionPreoperative digital templating is a standard procedure that should help the operating surgeon to perform an accurate intraoperative procedure. To date, a detailed view considering gender differences in templating total knee arthroplasty (TKA), stage of arthrosis, and the surgeons' experience altogether has not been conducted.
methodsA series of 521 patients who underwent bicondylar total knee arthroplasty was analyzed retrospectively for the planning adherence of digital templating in relation to sex, surgeon experience, and stage of arthrosis. Pre- and postoperative X-rays were comparably investigated for planned and implanted total knee arthroplasties. Digital templating was carried out through mediCAD version 6.5.06 (Hectec GmbH, 84032 Altdorf, Germany). For statistical analyses, IBM SPSS version 28 (IBM, 10504 Armonk, NY, US) was used.
resultsThe general planning adherence was 46.3% for the femur and 41.8% for the tibia. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed a gender difference for templating the femur (z = -5.486; DISCUSSION/
conclusionDigital templating for total knee arthroplasty brought up gender differences, with oversized implants for women and undersized implants for men. A high stage of femoral arthrosis can lead to the under and oversized planning of the surgeon. Since the surgeon's experience in planning did not show an effect on the adherence to templating, the beneficial effect of digital templating before surgery should be discussed.
