Clinical significance of distal femur morphology in a healthy Mongolian youth population.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Morphological parameters of knee joint are related to race and nationality. At present, knee prosthesis come from white male population. Due to the mismatch between the prosthesis and other ethnic groups, the prosthesis life span is reduced, revision surgery and the patients' economic burden are increased. There is no data of the Mongolian ethnic group. In order to treat patients more accurately, we measured the Mongolian data of the femoral condyle. A total of 122 knee joints were scanned in 61 volunteers (21 males and 40 females) with an average age of 23.259 ± 1.395 years. The Mimics software was used to reconstruct the 3D image and measure the data of each line. The data were analyzed by statistical methods such as t test, and P < 0.05 was taken as the significant. 122 normal femoral condyle data were obtained. The mean transverse diameter of femoral condyle is 76.472 ± 5.952 mm, medial condyle is 29.259 ± 11.461 mm, and the sagittal diameter of the medial condyle was 56.758 ± 4.163 mm. The transverse diameter of the lateral femoral condyle is 29.388 ± 3.157 mm, the sagittal diameter of the lateral condyle is 58.937 ± 3.527 mm and the femoral plane rate is 1.264 ± 0.072. (1) There was no statistical significance in the left and right knee joint data (P > 0.05). (2) The different genders data of femoral condyle were statistically significant (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with other nationalities and races, the data of femoral condyle are different. (4) There are differences between femoral surface ratio and mainstream prosthesis data.
